2025 Ducking Hunger Regatta

CELEBRATING OUR 1ST DUCKADE! 10 Years of Ducking Hunger Regatta!

Every September on Labor Day up to 2,000 little ducks race to the finish line to fight hunger. Each little duck is adopted for $5 and all adopted ducks race for $1,000 cash prize. Every Duck adopted helps provide 40 meals to lower income families in Grayson County through the GCA Food Pantry.

Tickets to adopt the little racing ducks go on sale to general public on July 23 through August 30 each year. Tickets will be sold online or can be purchased by check or cash in person at the Food Pantry just call 270-259-4000. 

There are only 2,000 tickets which has the potential to raise $10,000 (approximately 80,000 meals) for the Alliance Food Pantry.
