Duck Race for Children
The first annual Douglas County Duck Race for Children was held in 1998
at River Forks Park near Roseburg.
The Duck Race is a joint service project of the
three Rotary clubs in Roseburg and the Sutherlin Rotary Club. All proceeds
from the race are earmarked for donation to local non-profit organizations whose
focus is on the prevention of child abuse in Douglas County. The proceeds
benefit between First Step, Family Development Center (nee Parents Relief Nursery), Court Appointed
Special Advocates (CASA), Safe Haven, and Douglas CARES. The 2009 Duck Race goal
is raising $100,000 to help in the battle against
child abuse.
The first-place winner receives a new
Chevrolet Aveo from Clint Newell Auto Group. All prizes and operating funds are donated so the entire proceeds
from ticket sales is distributed to the selected organizations.
Here is the list of prize winners for the 2009 race.
