Aflac has contributed $144 million to pediatric cancer research and treatment since 1995, and most recently introduced My Special Aflac Duck ® –a unique social robot –designed to provide comfort, joy and medical play to patients. Children with cancer, ages 3 and up, can receive their own My Special Aflac Duck –free-of-charge –by asking their healthcare team.
