Let’s Go To The Rubber Duck Races-Regattas
Bring on the rubber duck races-regattas! We love those rubber ducks. Believe it or not, rubber ducks have been around for over 100 years. They got their start as a simple bath toy and since then they have grown into true international stars. There aren’t many places you can go in the world where a rubber duck couldn’t bring a smile to someone’s face. It is exactly that reason why rubber duck races have become so popular…

Many of the rubber duck races held these days are done as fundraisers. Groups, organization or charities are looking for a fun and exciting way to get people to donate money for a worthy cause. There are rubber duck races that help fund cancer research, ones that help children in need, ones that raise money for animal shelters, etc.
In most races instead of just donating your money, you can sponsor rubber ducks to compete in the races. The rubber ducks are often assigned numbers and your sponsorship earns them a spot in the race. As the race begins you get to watch your rubber duck(s), along with hundreds and sometimes thousands of other rubber ducks), “swim” down the river towards the finish line.
The winning rubber ducks (and their sponsor) are often rewards with prizes and gifts that have been donated by local businesses. But the most rewarding thing is knowing that each and every rubber duck helped raise money for a good cause.
So whether you are young or old, there is always fun to be had at the rubber duck races. You can even hold your own rubber duck race! Just remember this…rubber ducks have this amazing knack for bringing smiles to people’s faces. So, why not grab your rubber duck and let’s go to the rubber duck races.
