Windy City Rubber Ducky Derby

The 5th annual Windy City Rubber Ducky Derby took place on Aug. 12 and was a huge success! 30,000 ducks were adopted and eight lucky ducks won great prizes for their adopters, including a Shopping Spree Weekend on the Magnificent Mile in Chicago. Daryl Hawks, sportscaster for Chicago’s NBC5 news was on hand to assist Special Olympics Illinois CEO Doug Snyder in calling the race as the ducks entered the water. The weather was beautiful and fun was had by all. A record number of Special Olympics Illinois Global Messengers were on hand to assist in selling duck adoptions and greet sponsors.

Thank you all for your support and participation!!
