Duck Race

Duck Race 2022

The DUCKS have RETURNED! Tickets are on sale now until 8:30 AM on Saturday, August 6----sales close a half hour before the race. Join us on race day at the Indiana Beach Action River to enjoy this one-of-a-kind event that has the potential to reward one player a significant GRAND CASH PRIZE!

Here's how it works in this 50/50 water race. The WCUW Board is selling tickets for $10 each---that's one ticket and one entry. (Must be 18 years or older to play!) Your ticket has a number that corresponds to a rubber racing duck that we release at Indiana Beach the morning of 8/6. After our expenses, we will split the pot of duck ticket proceeds with the top three winners. The first duck to the finish line wins its owner 30% of the total race proceeds (after expenses). Depending on the number of tickets sold, this could be a significant dollar award! Second place earns 15% of the total race proceeds. The third place winner will take home 5% of the race proceeds. Subsequent winners will be eligible for gifts from our sponsors. 

Everyone's a winner!   The proceeds from the duck race (the other 50% after expenses) will help us support our partner agencies and initiatives as we pursue our mission to advocate and fight for the health, education, and financial stability of every person in every neighborhood we serve. So you have a little fun, we make a little money, and together, we make a BIG SPLASH in our community. 

This race is permitted by Indiana Gaming License #11475, reference #156612.

Duck Race 2020 was canceled

Like many of our community events, the annual duck race was cancelled in 2020. We turned to social media to recognize our strong supporters and community members who have always supported our annual Duck Race. 

Thank you to all of our community members who are regular Duck Race patrons. We continue to invest in programs and agencies that make our neighborhoods safer, healthier, and happier. We can’t do it without you, and we miss your smiling faces. Now more than ever, we thank you!

Thank you to our long-time sponsors:

Duck Race 2017

The Action River Duck Race was a success on August 5, 2017. We released 1250 ducks and awarded over $3000 to the winners, thanks to generous donations from our sponsors. Our volunteers were out in United Way dress to represent the #LiveUnited mantra as we helped raise money for agencies serving White County. Please contact us for volunteer information or to begin your donations.
