RubBEr Duckz
Like any inspiring and heartfelt story, this one features a heroine. Though she didn't wear a cape or possess supernatural powers, her selflessness profoundly impacted people's lives and often helped save them. Her name was Alice.
Alice was Dani's (MagicMan) mother, a Founding Partner and VP of Patient Services at Best Doctors in Boston. She was responsible for connecting patients with the best doctors available, regardless of their economic background or ability to pay. Her life's mission was simple: to help those in need.
One day, Alice found a yellow rubber duck at a store and bought it for her son, thinking it would be a delightful companion for his bath time adventures.
She soon realized that one rubber duck wasn't enough; her son needed more friends for his little duck. So, she bought a few more. Before long, a whole flock of ducks was having a party at her house.
As her collection grew, even the patients she helped noticed her affection for the yellow squishy characters and began gifting her unique ducks as tokens of appreciation. Her small collection quickly expanded into a large rubber duck family, and she became an official collector.
Alice's career as a healthcare professional was not without sorrow. She became personally attached to many wonderful people who sadly lost their battles. Alice herself was fighting her own battle against Pulmonary Fibrosis.
Tragically, Alice, often called a guardian angel on earth, lost her battle with this disease. She will always be remembered as a champion, especially by those fortunate enough to have met her.
One afternoon, during a conversation between PapaDuck and MagicMan about Alice's beautiful life, they discussed her beloved rubber duck collection. What would happen to it?
MagicMan's plan was to keep the collection of course, but they wondered if they could make it available to anyone who cared enough to have one.
Blockchain and NFTs were the perfect solution. They decided to take the ducks to the Metaverse, where they would live forever in Alice's honor. These virtual ducks would be available to anyone, just like real-life rubber ducks. But that wasn't enough—they wanted to continue Alice's legacy of helping others.
Therefore, they decided to give back. A portion of the proceeds ($50,000) from the initial minting would go to the Boston Children's Hospital, where Alice had cared for many wonderful children.
Another portion would help people in the Dominican Republic receive treatment for pancreatic cancer, a cause close to PapaDuck's heart after losing his mother to the disease.
Once a community of collectors gathered in this web3 pond, they would organize raffles, games, competitions, and get-togethers, creating high-quality merchandise that holders would wear proudly as a symbol of their connection to both the cause and the community behind it.
It was crucial to create a community around Rubber Duckz that embodies Alice's values and purpose, while also having fun and taking risks along the way.
This is the Official NFT Rubber Ducks collection. Inspired by a heroine, conceptualized by a dreamer, and executed by a team of passionate individuals.
