10,000 rubber ducks. One river. One very loud afternoon. Adopt a duck, cheer it down the Quacktown River, and help fund the programs our neighbors count on.
Race day in
Why we race
Every duck in the Quacktown Duck Derby is adopted by a neighbor, a family, or a local business. Every adoption stays right here, funding after-school programs, the Quacktown Food Pantry, and new playgrounds at Mallard Park.
Adopt a duck. Make some waves. Maybe win $5,000.

Heard on the riverbank
Straight from the people who adopt, cheer, and come back every year.
We adopted a Quack Pack for each of the kids. Nobody won, everybody screamed, and we already know we're coming back.

Our office team sold 400 ducks in a month. It is the easiest fundraiser we have ever been part of.

I bought five ducks at the farmers market and one of them won me a grill. Best $25 I ever spent.

Last call
One duck is a small thing. Ten thousand of them, adopted by neighbors and cheered on by friends, change what next year looks like in Quacktown.
