Lucky Ducky Race Supports Girls at PACE Center Through Unique Fundraiser
The annual Lucky Ducky Race for PACE on Saturday, April 12th, on Riverwalk is making waves in the community by turning rubber ducks into real-life opportunities for girls in need. Hosted by the PACE Center for Girls in Manatee County, the race is more than a quirky event—it's a vital fundraiser that transforms small donations into life-changing resources.
Each rubber duck adoption helps support the academic, emotional, and social development of girls facing challenges in traditional school settings. A $5 donation, known as a “Lonely Duck,” provides essential school supplies. With $20, or a “Quack Pack,” girls earn incentives that motivate them to stay on track and meet personal goals. At the highest level, $100—dubbed a “Flock of Ducks”—offers girls and their families access to critical counseling and goal-setting services.
The goal is big: at least 30,000 ducks racing and thousands of lives changed. Every duck adopted brings hope, stability, and the promise of a brighter future for girls who need it most.
The community is encouraged to join the cause by adopting a duck at www.LuckyDuckyRaceforPace.com. Proceeds directly benefit the PACE Center for Girls, helping them continue their mission of empowering young women through education, counseling, and support.
