The Great Kiwanis Duck Race is an annual, community-wide fundraising campaign and the signature fundraising event for the Kiwanis Club of Chattanooga. It is also one of the city’s favorite summertime events. Proceeds from this year’s event benefit the Kiwanis Youth Foundation and First Things First, our community's leading non-profit organization dedicated to strengthening the family.

On Saturday afternoon, June 25 beginning at 5:00 pm, 5,000 ducks will be dropped from the Walnut Street Bridge into the Tennessee River heading down to the Riverfront’s new pier. Each duck is numbered with a corresponding numbered ticket and cash prizes will be awarded for the winning "adopted" ducks,

You must be 18 years of age or older to participate. Proof of age required. Online duck adoptions will be processed by a First Things First representative. Orders will be processed in 3-5 business days. Winners need not be present to win.
