The Gruff Ducks
The times were tough, and the ducks were gruff.

For the next few months, years, decades, the Gruff Ducks
will be presenting a kinder and gentler quack.

The Ducks believe if you've got it tough,
somebody else has it even tougher.

Visit these truly worthy causes and people
and if you find a dime on the street as you walk to work,
consider sending it to them.
