Adopt a Duck Now!

How does it work?

Everyone who adopts a duck, whether online, in the mail, at a Duck Derby booth or in a sponsoring business is entered into what we call Equack, a database that stores all of the information. Next to your name in Equack is the number of ducks you have adopted. The tag range is entered into Equack and all of the numbers are shuffled up. Then, Equack automatically assigns the number of ducks you have adopted next to Tag Numbers. If you adopt 5 ducks, your name will be placed next to 5 different tag numbers.

How will I know if my duck wins?

The Rotary Club of Graham will contact you using the information you provided with your duck adoption. You do not need to be present to win.

Are they real ducks or rubber ducks?

Rubber ducks, silly!

Once I adopt a duck, do I get to keep it?

After you adopt your duck, the Rotary Club of Graham will work hard to train, coach and make sure each one is ready for Race Day. After the Race, all of the ducks will fly off to their next race somewhere in the U.S.

Do I need to be present to win?
