540 West Madison

Welcome to the 540 West Madison page!

Join us to make a SPLASH at this year’s Chicago Ducky Derby! Our team is racing to hit our duck adoption goal before splashdown on August 6! By race day, the goal is to have more than 85,000 rubber ducks adopted and ready to splash down from the Columbus Drive bridge to race down the Chicago River. All proceeds from the Chicago Ducky Derby go to benefit Special Olympics Illinois and will impact a community of 32,600 traditional athletes, Young Athletes, Peer Partners, and Unified Partners throughout Illinois building inclusive communities throughout the world.

Adopt your duck, quack pack, ducky dozen, or flock today to win! Want to join us for the duck drop on August 6? Waddle down to the Columbus Drive bridge to watch the drop at 1:00 PM! Thank you so much for supporting the athletes of Special Olympics Illinois!
