PEORIA, Ill. (WMBD) — The countdown is on for one of Central Illinois' most anticipated summer fundraisers.
Ducks officially go on sale June 2nd for the Center for Prevention of Abuse's 37th Annual Duck Race.
From now through August, supporters can purchase ducks for $5 each online through the CFPA website. Volunteers will also be selling ducks at various locations across the area throughout the summer.
The race is scheduled for Saturday, August 23 at 1 p.m. at Eastside Center in East Peoria. Thousands of rubber ducks will be released, racing toward the finish line in hopes of winning big for their ticket holders.
The grand prize? A $10,000 cash award for the first duck to cross the finish line. The first 15 ducks to finish will all win prizes, making the race a fun and rewarding way to support a vital cause.
All proceeds from the event go toward the Center for Prevention of Abuse, helping fund services for survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, human trafficking, and elder abuse.
