🐥Ducks can be adopted at TampaDuckRace.com for $5 per duck.
All proceeds will benefit the Kiwanis Club of Tampa charitable foundation, which sponsors many local projects and programs for children. Although we would love to have you attend, you don't need to be present to win - so take a chance and adopt a duck!
The Tampa Kiwanis Club has been helping children in the local community since 1919. Our enthusiastic members pursue creative ways to serve the needs of children in our community. Locally we build ramps for the disabled, hold immunization events, purchase holiday gifts for kids in need, provide scholarships, work with leadership clubs in schools at the middle school, high school and college level, and we fund and maintain a StoryWalk in Al Lopez Park to encourage early literacy and exercise. Additionally, our foundation provides grants to local non-profit organizations.
🌊PLEASE NOTE: We are partnering with a company that runs these races all over the world and have taken many measures to be sure that these ducks are not a threat to our beautiful waterway. The ducks will be contained in a lane and funneled to the finish line. We will have several boats and volunteers on hand to help make sure all of the ducks are collected and accounted for. Our goal is to leave the river cleaner than we found it.
