Berkeley County Million Dollar  Duck Race
To benefit the  Callen-Lacey Center for Children

What is the Duck Race?
The Duck Race is a fund-raising event for  Callen-Lacey

When and where  is the Duck Race?
This year’s race will be held on Saturday, July  7th during the Moncks Corner Fourth of July Festival at the Old Santee Canal  Park in Moncks Corner, SC.  The ducks will be released into Biggins Creek at the  Park at approximately 4:30 pm.

Are you racing  real ducks?
No, we are racing 10,000 rubber ducks.

How does this  Duck Race work?
For a $5 per duck donation to Callen-Lacey, you  will be given an adoption paper which has your lucky duck number on it.  The  10,000 rubber ducks will be dumped into Biggins Creek.  All ducks will have tags  on them corresponding to the Lucky Duck numbers held by their adoptive parents.   The ducks will race down the Creek and prizes will be awarded to the top  finishers.

What are the  prizes?
There are 6 grand prizes and a minimum of 50 smaller  prizes.  The smaller prizes range from a weekend getaway to gift certificates  for dinner, movies, etc.

I heard  something about a million dollars?
An independent insurance agent  in Texas will send us a computer-generated duck number.  If the pre-selected  number matches the number on the duck which crosses the finish line first, the  adoptive parents will win a $1 million annuity (payable over 20 years).

How can I  adopt a duck?
Adoptions for this year’s race will begin May 14th,  2001.  You can call Duck Central (761-5360) or check this website at a later  date for adoption locations.

What is the  deadline for duck adoptions?
We do have a limited number of ducks  - 10,000.  You are encouraged to join the fun and make your adoption ASAP.

Where do the  proceeds go?
100% of the proceeds from duck adoptions will go  directly to the Callen-Lacey Center for Children.

Do you need  volunteers or help with the fund-raiser?
Yes.  You would need to  speak to Nicole Kilgus or Pari-Smart at Duck Central, phone number 761-5360.
