Ducks Captain Radko Gudas Teams Up with Daughter and Visit Anaheim Imaginagent, Tynka, to Auction Unforgettable Game-Night Experiences for Charity

 

Anaheim, CA (September 17, 2025) – Visit Anaheim’s Imaginagency, the kid-run travel agency where kids dream up the ultimate Anaheim vacations, is turning imagination into impact with Imaginagent Tynka Gudas. Tynka has teamed up with her dad, Anaheim Ducks Captain Radko Gudas, to launch an exclusive auction offering fans once-in-a-lifetime Ducks experiences while raising funds for the Anaheim Ducks Foundation.

 

Running September 17-21, this auction drops just in time for preseason hockey, giving Ducks fans a new way to gear up for the season while giving back to the community. Fans will have the opportunity to bid on two Anaheim travel itineraries created by Tynka in her Imaginagency role, each filled with unforgettable Ducks experiences that could only come from a kid’s imagination.

 

“The Imaginagency is all about turning kids’ ideas for dream vacations into real Anaheim adventures, and Tynka’s auction does just that for Ducks fans,” said Mike Waterman, President & CEO of Visit Anaheim. “We’re thrilled to bring this to life with support from the Ducks and the Anaheim Ducks Foundation. Together we’re giving fans an unforgettable way to experience Anaheim while helping local kids discover their love for hockey, and maybe even become the next captain of the Ducks.”

 

Proceeds from the auction will benefit the Anaheim Ducks Foundation’s “Learn to Play” program, which provides local kids with hockey gear and opportunities to hit the ice. The Foundation is already making an impact by teaching Anaheim youth to play hockey, and the auction funds will significantly expand that effort.

 

Highlights of “Tynka’s Captain’s Pick Experience” auction include:

  • Four glass-seat tickets to an Anaheim Ducks home game
  • Zamboni ride during the game or a post-game player meet & greet
  • One-night stay at The Anaheim Hotel
  • Radko Gudas autographed gear

 

The Anaheim Ducks Foundation serves as the team’s main charitable beneficiary, providing underserved youth with resources and opportunities through the sport of hockey, helping grow the game and build community.

 

“We’re so grateful to Visit Anaheim and Tynka Gudas for choosing the Anaheim Ducks Foundation as the beneficiary of this creative and meaningful auction,” said Wendy Arciero, Executive Director of the Anaheim Ducks Foundation. “Their support helps us bring hockey to more kids in our community and grow the game in a truly inspiring way.”

 

Fans can bid on these one-of-a-kind experiences starting at noon on Wednesday, September 17 at Imaginagency.com. The auction will close at noon on Sunday, September 21.
