We have numerous reasons why a Derby Duck Race would be great for any nonprofit organization. Here are our top 10 reasons why your nonprofit should do a Derby Duck Race fundraiser.

10. Raise Thousands of Dollars Every Year

Whether your nonprofit organization is large or small, a Derby Duck Race allows your group to raise thousands of dollars for your cause. The longer you race, the more opportunity there is to bring awareness to your organization.

9. Bring Your Entire Community Together

There are multiple ways your community can be involved in a Duck Race! Whether sponsoring your event, logistics, adopting ducks, promoting your race on a local media outlet, or just out to enjoy the day and watch the ducks — there is something for everyone to enjoy.

8. Create Unique Sponsorship Opportunities

Derby Duck Race offers fun sponsorship opportunities. Not only can you offer logo placement on thousands of Adoption Papers, marketing collateral, and on your Duck Race website, but you can include inflatable duck balloon displays, media mentions, Quacky appearances, kick-off parties, t-shirts, winning duck announcers, and more! When you partner with Derby Duck Races, we help you create the best sponsor proposals and levels that fit your race.

7. Quacky Fun with the Media

A Derby Duck Race provides a perfect opportunity to partner with local media outlets to cover your event and bring awareness to your nonprofit. Our merchandise collateral is a great way to promote your event and get the local news anchors excited about your upcoming race!

6. A Fun Event for the Entire Family

Kids go "quacky" for these ducks, which makes a Derby Duck Race a great fundraiser for the entire family to enjoy. These ducks bring out the kid in everyone!

5. Numerous Volunteer Opportunities

A Derby Duck Race provides unlimited volunteer opportunities — from Duck Adoptions, to Duck Tagging, to Duck Cleanup after your race. The possibilities are endless! The best part? Just about anyone at any age can participate as a volunteer. Friends, family, co-workers, neighbors, and kids can all help.
