Adopt a duck to benefit Georgia's 23,078 Special Olympics athletes. For a donation of $5 or more, a lucky prize number will be assigned to a yellow rubber duck in your honor. All ducks will race against each other in the annual Duck Derby held at Six Flags White Water—in the Little Hooch—on Friday, June 24, 2011 at 2:00pm. If your adopted duck is the first to cross the finish line, you win!

How does adopting a duck help the athletes?
Single Duck Adoption - By donating $5 for a single duck adoption, you will be feeding 1 meal to 1 athlete at State Summer Games. For your $5 donation, 1 racing duck will be adopted in your name and entered into the race. If your duck is one of the first five to cross the finish line, you win a prize!
Increase your chances and get a Quack Pack - Your $25 donation provides the funds for gold silver, and bronze medals and other ribbons for 1 competition at State Summer Games. Your $25 donation will hatch 5 adopted ducks to be entered into the race for an increased chance to win AND you’ll be mailed an adorable souvenir junior duck.
For a great deal adopt a Quacker’s Dozen - Your $60 Quacker’s Dozen donation provides funds for housing for two nights at the State Summer Games. You can get more ducks for your bucks—pay $60 (the price of 12 duck adoptions) and receive 13 ducks in your name AND you’ll be mailed 2 souvenir junior ducks.
