Supporting survivors in Northern Colorado just got even easier. “Adopt” your ducks before ‘The Great Estes Park Duck Race’ on May 3rd through The SAVA Center Link. $23 of every $25 duck purchased benefits SAVA.

You’ll be entered to with hundreds of prizes, including a chance at $10,000! The best part? You don’t have to be present to win!

The Great Estes Park Duck Race is held annually on the first Saturday in May. The Annual Duck Race continues a tradition started in 1989, which has returned more than $3 million (and counting) to local charities and groups!

Each year, dozens of local Estes Valley nonprofits and community groups are selected to be Participating Organizations in the Duck Race. The Rotary Club of Estes Park organizes the Duck Race and handles all the administrative, operational, and financial aspects of the event. During the Duck Race season, people may “adopt” little yellow ducks for the Duck Race and designate the organization of their choice to receive the proceeds of their adoptions. The adopted ducks will be released to float down the Fall River in Estes Park on Race Day. Volunteers at the Finish Line collect the ducks and Prizes are awarded to the adopters of the ducks that cross the finish line first. After the race, the collected funds are distributed to Participating Organizations and Charities on the basis of the number of adoptions credited to each benefitting group.
