It’s More Than A Race!

It’s A Quacking Good Time!

The race is a day of fun with something for everyone! There are games, jump castles, face painters, music, food vendors and more! Bring the whole family and join in the celebration.

The proceeds from this event are used to fund Rotary community service programs locally and worldwide. Each participating Rotary club is designating one or more Lowcountry charities as named beneficiaries of the duck race.

These charities represent a wide selection of local non-profit organizations focused on health, food and nutrition, housing, children and families, and literacy.

Over the past fifteen years, this event has raised $1,800,000 for local beneficiaries as well as Rotary projects worldwide.

We always appreciate all contributions and thank you for your duck adoption(s). Thank you very much for your continuous support!
