What another special night with special friends among our community- celebrating and sharing in each others contributions! Thank you Kiwanis Club for attending the presentation and sharing in the prize…Thank you Rick and Bryant Auction for always giving back….
🦆💛 Rick Bryant’s Duck Did More Than Just Drop… It Gave Back! 💛🦆
Quack-quack-hooray! The Kiwanis Duck Drop made a big splash this year, and waddling away with the $5,000 first place prize was none other than The Lakes' own Rick Bryant of Bryant Auction Sales! 🏆🦆
But instead of feathering his own nest, Rick decided to turn this lucky duck into a community-wide quack attack of kindness! 🐣💸
Thanks to Central Bank of Lake of the Ozarks for generously providing the prize money — and thanks to Rick for making sure it didn’t just float away:
🟡 $1,000 back to the Kiwanis Club (because ducks love giving back to their pond 🏞️)
🟣 $1,000 to Big Brothers Big Sisters (mentoring future duck leaders 🐥)
🔵 $1,000 split among the registered bidders at his auction last night (surprise duck bucks!)
🟢 $500 to his assistant to donate to a charity of her choice (because every duck needs a wingman 🪽)
🟠 And the remaining $1,500? Rick’s still deciding the best way to spread those feathers and make the biggest splash for the community! 💦
Rick’s duck didn’t just win — it inspired a ripple effect of generosity. 🐤💖
Let’s give a big round of applause (and maybe a few quacks) to Rick for proving that when you lead with heart, even a rubber duck can change lives. 🦆👏
