We are excited to present you with the 2018 Ducks Unlimited Event Merchandise Catalog.
The merchandise showcased in this catalog was selected by the committed volunteers
and staff who serve on the DU event merchandise selection committees.
Ducks Unlimited volunteers know how to have fun while sharing a passion for the outdoors and our hunting
heritage. Our dedicated volunteers help to raise more than $50 million dollars for North America’s wetlands
each year during the thousands of local fundraising events held across the country. By selling tickets, gathering
donations, and securing sponsorships, we make a difference for wetlands and waterfowl. Whether you volunteer
for a high school, collegiate, or local fundraising chapter, we appreciate your support of DU’s conservation
mission. We all bring something to the table.
We want to draw your attention to our featured products for 2018. These special items include the:
• Twist’n Turn’n Teal canvas by Richard Clifton
