2024 Darling Ducklings

Welcome to the 2024 SOILL Athlete Team, The Darling Ducklings!

Our team is comprised of Special Olympics Illinois Athletes who not only compete on the playing field, but also educate, inspire and engage the public! Our team works together all summer long to increase awareness around Chicago Ducky Derby and drive duck adoptions which in the end, helps us participate in the sports we love!

Please select an athlete name below to support our team!

Join us to make a SPLASH at this year’s Chicago Ducky Derby! Our team is racing to hit our duck adoption goal before the Duck Drop on August 7th!

This year, our goal is to drop over 100,00 rubber ducks into the Chicago River to race towards the finish line. All proceeds from the Chicago Ducky Derby go to benefit Special Olympics Illinois and will impact a community of over 24,000 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! The race's winners receive prizes, previous prizes included an all-new car and a cruise!

Want to join us for the duck drop on August 7th? 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!
