HOSPICE LAUNCHES NEW RUBBER DUCK RACE EVENT AS PART OF BELLE RIVER SUNSPLASH FESTIVAL
Join Hospice for their newest fundraising event, The Hospice Rubber Duck Race. The event takes place Saturday, July 15, 2023 at the Lakeview Park West Beach in Belle River, along the canal.
On Saturday, July 15th at 12:00 noon, 4,000 numbered rubber ducks will splash into the water, competing to be the first duck to float across the finish line. This new, family-friendly event, will be a part of the Belle River Sunsplash weekend of fun, and thanks to support from the Lakeshore Fire Department, the “duck drop” will be a sight to see!
Tickets that correspond to the numbered ducks will be sold for $5.00 each. Dive into the fun by purchasing a duck ticket for your chance to win $1,750 in cash prizes. The first duck paddling across the Finish Line wins $1,000, Second Place wins $500 and Third Place wins $250. Winning tickets for the Rubber Duck race will be announced once the race is complete, and winners do not have to be present to win.
All proceeds from this event will directly support care for Hospice patients and families across Windsor and Essex County.
“We are so excited to announce this new family-friendly event, that not only brings our community together, but supports our patients and families along the way,” says Nancy Brockenshire, Hospice Executive Director.
