The Thirty-Second Annual Rotary Duck Race was held on July 4th in downtown Pottstown as part of the GoFourth Festival.
Over 4600 chances to win were sold this year by club members and non-profit agencies here in our community. The proceeds will help support their projects.
A list of prizes and winners can be found in the "Read more ... " section below.
Over 100 prizes were awarded to holders of the winning certificates.
Prizes in the form of Gift certificates and Gift cards will be mailed to the winners in the upcoming week.
For larger items, the winner will be mailed a certificate and advised by mail where to go to pick up their prize.
Last year, the Rotary Club gave more than $16,000 to the participating community groups and agencies on a pro-rata basis.
Since the inception of the Rotary Duck Race, The Rotary Club of Pottstown has contributed more than $411,000 to non-profit organizations in the Pottstown area because of this wonderful event.
We appreciate all the people who helped contribute to make this year's Duck Race a success. Your efforts make our community stronger each year.
"Thank You"
