The 50-State Rubber Duck Challenge: A 50th Birthday Wish
The map above is sample how I want it filled. She actually pinned map below.
At least one Rubber Duck from each of the 50 states by my 50th birthday in August 2026. (See the count down below).
New or old, big or small — Steve will welcome them all!
As I approach a milestone birthday in August 2026, I’m launching a delightfully ducky quest: to collect one rubber duck from every U.S. state before I turn the big 5-0. That’s right—fifty rubber ducks for fifty birthday!
Why rubber ducks? Because they spark joy, build community, and fit beautifully into the whimsical Duckiverse I’ve been crafting over the years—a universe where rubber ducks have a name and story. Besides it’s what I collect! Now, it’s time to give these ducks roots in real places, one state at a time.
Send a rubber duck—any style, any flavor of quirkiness—from your state to help me hatch this dream. Whether it’s a classic yellow duck or something dressed like a cowboy, astronaut, or Elvis impersonator, it’ll be adopted into the Duckiverse and proudly represent your state.
If it’s a rubber duck it will be welcomed!
Mail your rubber duck to:
SteveZ DuckZ
℅ Steve Patterson’s 50th
P.O. Box 38
New Market, TN 37820
United States
This isn’t just a personal collection—it’s a nationwide celebration of creativity, generosity, and pure, unfiltered joy. Every rubber duck will be photographed, cataloged, and featured in a digital Duckiverse showcase with your state’s name. All will be given a name and story as part of their induction into this epic rubber duck Duckiverse.
Let’s turn this into a community-powered birthday bash that stretches across all 50 states and beyond. (Other countries are welcome to join in too). If you know someone in another state, tag them, share this post and spread the splash!
I’ll taken them from out of the country too! Just saying!
I’ll also enjoy seeing all of cities they will be coming from too.
Really cool if the rubber duck is themed for your state but any rubber duck will do.
Include a note or card with your name and state so your duck gets proper credit.
Add flair! Costumes, accessories, themes, or even duck puns are welcome.
You can send me one from my Amazon Wish List and include a gift note.
Want to see how your rubber duck fits into the Duckiverse? I’ll be posting updates, stories, and shoutouts along the way.
On my 50th birthday in August 2026, I’ll share the final update.

Thanks for helping me make this the most memorable milestone birthday yet. Let the great rubber duck migration begin! I’m looking forward to seeing what rubber ducks will migrate my way.
I even share the video opening in Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and YiuTube. Click each one to see that video and what that state sent.
Please be sure to share abd like the videos. Thank you.
1. California 10/21/25 my first
4. Pennsylvania (11/1/25)
8. Massachusetts (11/20/25)
I share my openings videos on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and YouTube.
Even if your state is already submitted one, I will still be glad to accept another from your state as it can be added to my 50th birthday celebration. Yes, if you wanna send me one from out of country, that would be cool too.
Please be sure to share this challenge with your friends, families and coworkers. Please and thank you.
