Rubber Duck 2013: The Party

Date:

Saturday, August 17, 2013 - 7:30pm - Sunday, August 18, 2013 - 12:00am

Location:

1117 Stobaugh, Austin, TX 78757

Quack! Quack! The 9th Annual Rubber Duck Party will be held at 7:30PM on August 17, 2013 to benefit the Paul Kirby Fund at AIDS Service of Austin (ASA). This Octopus Club party is pulled together by a group of dedicated friends each year to raise money and have lots of FUN in the heat of the summer. The event is held at a private residence and features great summer drinks, delicious food, lively music and lots of exciting fellowship.

Attendees are encouraged to wear cool clothes and invite friends so that we can raise more funds for the Octopus Club. The hosts are hard at work adding new food, drink, and decor items to make the 8th year better than ever! Each guest is encouraged to make a donation of $50 at the door or $40 with online advance payment. It is the type of party where there are no long drink lines nor drink tickets, and you can mingle and meet new friends all evening.

The Octopus Club couldn't do it without you

Anyone can have an Octopus Club party- ANYONE! Whether you plan to have 2 people attend or 200, any dollar raised for the Paul Kirby Emergency Fund is much appreciated. Almost all of the money in the Emergency Assistance Fund comes from Octopus Club parties and every year the Paul Kirby Emergency Fund is emptied. The simple thing to remember is this: Hosts and Corporate Sponsors must cover all party expenses, so that EVERY cent spent by guests attending your party contributes directly to the Paul Kirby Emergency Fund.

So, get some friends together and set up a roadside lemonade stand or rent out the Erwin Center and hire the Rolling Stones to perform. Either way, your party will directly help someone living near you with HIV and AIDS in need of a prescription, eye glasses, rent utilities or food - basic living needs.
