Rubber Duck Race has raised over $180,000 for American Cancer Society |












|
At 2pm on July 10th this year, hundreds of yellow rubber ducks will be fighting cancer in Clinton NJ. In this 22 year tradition, The Clinton Sunrise Rotary Club will release the ducks into the scenic Raritan River where they will race to raise funds for the American Cancer Society and The Wellness Community of Central NJ. “This year in NJ approximately 44,000 people will be diagnosed with cancer. Every dollar we raise takes us a step closer to a cure and to improve the quality of life for cancer survivors,” says Lynn Arnold, Rubber Ducky Race Director and Club President. Our donations to these 2 organizations will be used to support Patient Services, Cancer Education, Advocacy, Cancer Research and Prevention.” Although the topic is serious, it’s meant to be a lot of fun. “We have a great turnout for the day,” says Lynn. “It’s a fun time for the whole family. It’s so scenic…there are shops, places to eat, museums. Kids have a great time watching the ducks go over the waterfall and under the historic Main Street Bridge.” There are prizes too! The sponsor of the first duck to cross the finish line will win a 4 day 3 night Walt Disney World package including airfare for 2, plus hotel and Park Passes. The second, third, fourth, fifth and even the last place duck have prizes as well. To sponsor a duck is $10 and registration begins at 11am. Although it’s fun to attend, entries can be submitted by mail as well. See full details and sponsorship forms below. |
