Boys and Girls Clubs exist to give every young person a chance to succeed, and a duck race fundraiser is the perfect way to rally your community behind that mission. Derby Duck Races has partnered with Boys and Girls Clubs across the country — including the Boys and Girls Club of Lanier in Gainesville, Georgia — to produce events that bring families, sponsors, and supporters together for a day of fun that raises serious money. A duck race is the kind of event that gets kids excited, parents engaged, and local businesses eager to sponsor.

Why Boys & Girls Clubs Choose Duck Races

Your club serves kids and families every day, and a duck race lets you celebrate that work in the most fun way possible. Unlike formal fundraising events that exclude the very families you serve, a duck race is free to attend, family-friendly, and outdoors. The community shows up, has a blast, and your club raises between $10,000 and $50,000. Club members can even volunteer at the event, building leadership skills while supporting their own club. Derby Duck Races provides the ducks, the technology platform for online adoptions, marketing support, and step-by-step guidance so your staff can focus on what they do best — serving kids.

How It Works

Your club picks a date and a local waterway. Derby Duck Races builds your custom online adoption page where community members can adopt ducks and compete for prizes. Promote the event through your club, local schools, and social media. On race day, the ducks race, winners celebrate, and your club keeps the proceeds. Many Boys and Girls Clubs make it their annual signature event, growing it bigger each year. We have helped over 2,000 organizations execute successful duck races — your club is in good hands.

Champion the Kids in Your Community

A duck race is more than a fundraiser. It is a community celebration of the young people your club serves every day. It builds awareness, attracts new donors, and creates the kind of joyful energy that keeps supporters coming back year after year.
