June 20 on the Genesee River in Wellsville

From the Arc Allegany-Steuben,

WELLSVILLE, NY – Show your support for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities by purchasing a duck to compete in the 2nd Annual Feathered Friends Duck Derby fundraiser happening June 20th (11am) at Riverwalk Plaza, Wellsville.

Join us on the bank of the Genesee River where we will release the quackin’ and watch them race down the river. Watch the ducks race virtually on the Arc Allegany-Steuben’s Facebook page (www.facebook.com/thearcas.org) or in person at Riverwalk Plaza.

The first three quackers to finish the race will score their adoptive owners $600, $350, and $200! There will also be 10 Lucky Ducks drawn from the flock to receive raffle prizes.

For $5, participants can buy a numbered rubber duck to enter in the race. Ticket numbers will correspond to numbered ducks launched from the bank of the Genesee River. Ducks can be purchased online at: www.thearcas.org/duckderby

Winners will be announced. You do not have to be present to win – your duck(s) will represent you. All proceeds benefit the Friends of Allegany Arc Foundation.

Thank you to our event sponsor USI Insurance Services. Sponsorship opportunities are still available. Contact Myriah Perry at 607-622-1893 or myriah.perry@thearcas.org for more information.
