"After Captain Kit told me about the ECODUCK, I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. After he showed me a restoration video, I was really excited to ride the DUCK after it is restored to learn about dolphins and manatees." -Clair S. 8th Grade Student

Hello Donors! As of 07/31/2026, we are at $37,500 in donations. But, we still have a long road and river to go! Already, the next videos are being filmed. Be on the lookout for a new video where I finish restoring the headlights of the ECODUCK. -Captain Kit
