Walt Disney announces that it's Donald Duck's 25th anniversary, so he invites the audience into Donald's dressing room to leave a silver "Duckster" award for him as a surprise.

== Goofs ==
* The program states that Donald came about in 1935 (hence the titular event), but he actually came about the previous year, so this is actually his 26th anniversary. Also, Walt states that Orphan's Benefit is Donald's first film, although in actuality, The Wise Little Hen was his first appearance.
