From the organizers:
Watch the rapids at the Whitewater Center turn yellow as over 15,000 racing rubber duckies hit the channel and race to the finish line to win 10 great prize packages! Recognized as one of the quackiest races in town, the Hope Floats Duck Race is not only KinderMourn’s largest fundraiser, but a celebrated community event, drawing over 5,000 out to the race! Proceeds from the race enable KinderMourn to expand programs and services throughout the greater Charlotte area.
Want to race a duck? Ducks can be “adopted” for $10 each by visiting www.kindermourn.org or calling KinderMourn (704) 376-2580. The free event includes live music, children’s activities, and an amazing race of thousands of ducks! It is a sight not to be missed!
Celebrating over 35 years, KinderMourn is known in Charlotte as a safe haven for bereaved parents and grieving children seeking support, comfort and hope after a tragic loss. Outreach programs provide counseling in schools for children/teens unable to come to KinderMourn for services. For additional information, visitwww.kindermourn.org or call (704) 376-2580.
