The Ducky Derby, a significant fundraiser

Every year, the Ducky Derby takes place to raise funds for the Special Olympics of Illinois. It is a competition between athletes with intellectual disabilities. In the previous year, the Ducky Derby was held with 75000 rubber ducks. However, the unique way of fundraising deserves to be applauded.

The ducks are waiting to be adopted

All the 70000 rubber ducks are waiting to be adopted by the world. Yes, this is the way of fundraising, where you can adopt a duck at merely $5, which will be added to the fund secured for the Special Olympics.
