BOTH EVENTS will be VIRTUAL!
updated 7/16/2020


The Duck Derby Drawing will be held via Facebook Live on 8/6 and the

​Duck N' Run 5K will be held wherever you are from now until 8/6. 

Our annual Duck Derby & Duck-N-Run 5K allows us to raise money to support all of our youth mentoring programs including Big Buddies, Lunch Buddies, Career Quest, and Couples/Community-Based Matches. 

Our annual Duck Derby encourages individuals to adopt rubber ducks which will be randomly drawn.  The first duck to be drawn is the winner of the $1,000 Cash Grand Prize, and the next 12 ducks are the winners of fabulous prize packages bundled together with donations from generous sponsors and local businesses. 

In addition to our regular Duck Derby, we are offering a separate Defender of Potential Duck drawing for a $500 jackpot.  Only 250 of these special ducks will be adopted, increasing your odds of winning. 


​ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE VIRTUAL EVENTS:
​
The isolation we're all feeling now is often what our youth feel when they don’t have a mentor or positive role model in their lives. Please help support mentoring at-risk youth in our community by joining the Virtual 2020 Duck N Run 5k!

We are prioritizing the health and safety of our runners, walkers, sponsors, volunteers, and staff, while also listening to the guidance from health and governmental officials, so instead of gathering in one place on one day, we are switching our Duck Derby and Duck N Run 5k to a virtual event. We encourage you to walk or run wherever you are, anytime between now and August 6th. This is a chance to show our strength in a challenging time, and a chance to get outside and be active with our virtual community across Shelby & Darke County.

​The Duck Derby drawing will take place live on August 6th at 7:30 pm on our Facebook page. It will be recorded and shared on our other social media platforms and webpage as well. This is a chance to prove that not only will we conquer the Coronavirus, but we will conquer the isolation that at-risk youth are experiencing in our community.
