Haunted Duck Race 2025

Could your spooky little quack win?! Take your shot at one of FOUR amazing prizes by virtually adopting a rubber duck (or 10, there's no limit!) in our fourth annual Haunted Duck Race! All proceeds help City of Elderly Love continue its lifesaving work, of course.

Please see below for contest rules.

Here's how it works:

We'll be broadcasting via Facebook Live on Sunday, October 26th where 600 little rubber ducky monsters will be taking a dip in our murky swamp (okay, it's a giant kiddie pool but don't tell them that). Each duck will be numbered 1-600 prior to the event. They'll make a few laps around the swamp with help from some spooky little helpers. Once done swimming, the winning ducks will be randomly plucked from the swamp!

You can adopt each duck for just a $15 donation. Adopt as many as you'd like to increase your chances at winning. However, there are only 600 ducks available for adoption - first come, first serve!

What you may win:

Grand Prize: $1,200

1st Place: $500

2nd Place: $250

3rd Place: $150

How to get started:

Simply purchase your duck(s) below! Be sure to include your CORRECT email address in the transaction details.

We will email you your ducks' randomly assigned numbers within 10 business days of registration. Registration ends Wednesday, October 22 but we expect to sell out before then!

Purchase your duck(s) here!
