Duck Derby

 

Our FIRST Annual Duck Derby Race in 2016 was SO MUCH FUN and benefited the Five Spinal Cord Injured who chose to participate in fundraising and raising Awareness during National Spinal Cord Injury Awareness Month (September). Each Injured who has been a prior recipient of our Scholarship Grant was eligible.

 

Our recipients set goals and built their "teams" by recruiting individuals, families or businesses to participate by making a donation of $5 for a single duck racer or $25 for a "Quack Pack."  ONE lucky Racer from EACH team will win a prize donated by our Sponsors.

​

Our current Derby Fundraiser will be 9/19/20 at Magnuson Resort. You may DONATE ONLINE up to one week prior to event. You may still purchase ducks at our event to race and you do not need to be present to win. The Race will be broadcast on Facebook Live.  Choose a team to support or buy a Quack Pack to support all of our Injured therapy programs. Thank you!
