Registration opens Monday, June 26th!
Whether your paddling has two ducks or a dozen, they are excited to be adopted and are ready to dash against thousands of others to benefit the Child Life Programs at Sutter Children's Center & UC Davis Children's Hospital.
Join us on Saturday, August 12, 2017 at 5 pm as thousands of rubber ducks race in the Calypso Cooler, an 800-foot-long lazy river, at Raging Waters Sacramento at Cal Expo.
Each adoption of 30 ($125) or 75 ducks ($250) includes acces to the VIP area sponsored by Quick Quack Car Wash! VIP area includes FREE food, drinks, ice cream, and shaded cabanas with lounge chairs! See below for exact benefits of each adoption level.
Funds raised by The Duck Dash will be used to benefit hospitalized children. Donated funds are used for programs including Beads of Courage & Music Therapy and activities such as art projects, games, musical instruments, activity books, toys, movies, video games, iPads, Kindles, and exercise equipment. These programs and activities are designed to help children and families cope with their medical experiences, educate children about their illnesses, prepare them for procedures and surgeries, offer normal childhood play experiences, and celebrate holidays and special events during hospitalization.
The Duck Dash is owned and operated by Donut Dash, a registered 501(c)3. Tax ID 27-1671648
