HOW YOUR DUCK MAKES A DIFFERENCE

The Great Rubber Duck Race has been raising money — and lifting lives — for 38 years. Every dollar earned goes right back into our community through programs that make Summit County stronger.

When you adopt a duck, you're investing in: youth sports, education, and scholarships, arts and cultural, environmental sustainability, and health and human services.

Last year alone, duck adoptions helped fund: 

160+ scholarships 

113 local nonprofit grants            

Special initiatives like Career Technical Education and Afterschool Enrichment

This is more than a race — it’s how we support those who live, work, and play here.
Your duck is a philanthropist in disguise.
