Why a duck race works for Schools & PTAs

PTAs, PTOs, and booster groups run duck races because they raise more than another catalog sale and they are genuinely fun for families. Students and parents adopt rubber ducks online, classrooms compete through team fundraising, and the whole school turns out on race day. Derby Duck Races provides the race website, the ducks, the print materials, and the marketing, so volunteers are not rebuilding the event from scratch every year. The articles above share fundraising ideas, timelines, and promotion tips for school and PTA duck races.
