Help Pace Center for Girls change the lives of girls in Manatee County... ADOPT A DUCK, HELP A GIRL!

The 14th Annual Lucky Ducky Race for Pace, is exactly what the name implies... a rubber duck derby benefiting Pace Center for Girls! Quacky is our adorable mascot who can be seen all over Manatee County (recently marching in the Children's Parade with Star Academy!), encouraging everyone she meets to adopt her adorable ducklings.

Here are the basics:

  • Date: May 13, 2023 - more info coming soon!
  • Pace Center for Girls will be racing 30,000+ adorable rubber ducks down the Manatee River for prizes
  • YOU can adopt one of those ducklings for only $5! A family of 5 is only $20, or an entire FLOCK of 30 is only $100.
  • Back for 2023: The VID! Want in on the fun? For $350, you'll receive a Corporate Duck with your logo in the VID Race, plus 100 ducks in the Lucky Ducky Race for PACE! Keep those 100 entries for yourself or give them away to customers and friends - your choice.
  • Not planning to be in Florida in May? Don't worry, we still plan to livestreem the race due to popular demand! Watch for links as the race date nears.
