Tickets are available for the Great Drake Park Duck Race with all proceeds going to a good cause

Bend, Ore. — The race is on! Tickets are now on sale for the 36th annual Great Drake Park Duck Race, a beloved Bend tradition that sends thousands of rubber ducks floating down the Deschutes River — all for a great cause.

From now through September 7th, you can buy a $5 raffle ticket for a chance to win one of 20 prizes. Proceeds benefit several local nonprofits, including Partners In Care, the Latino Community Association, and Family Access Network.

“It’s a little donation, but it will go a long way,” said Catalina Frank of LCA. “Every dollar helps support vital programs.”

Kelsey Seymour with FAN added, “We love getting out into the community and giving people the chance to win something fun while giving back.”

KTVZ is proud to partner with the Great Drake Park Duck Race.
