Save the date for
Duck Race on the Charles!*
Saturday, June 15th, 2024
Online Duck Adoptions are now OPEN!
We’re looking forward to a day of fun!
Join us at Marie-Louise Kehoe (Riverdale) Park for an afternoon of food, fun, and Neponset Valley Sunrise Rotary’s Duck Race!
We’ll be holding our race rain or shine; we’re keeping our fingers crossed for a sunny day to set our 600+ ducks on their way down the river. We’ll be pulling out three winning ducks for cash prizes.
The race helps us to support charitable events throughout the year, so help us out by “adopting” some ducks for the race - and taking a chance at winning one of three cash prizes!
A Huge Thank You!
On behalf of all of our club members and beneficiaries of our scholarships and community donations, we want to thank everyone who adopted ducks last year and all of our fantastic and loyal sponsors.
2024 winners will be notified following the race.

Duck adoptions are now OPEN. If you prefer not to “adopt” a duck for the race, you can still help us to help our community. Make a donation today.
