The third annual Ducky Derby Fundraiser at Genesee Community College to benefit the United Way will be held at 12:30 p.m. on Thursday, March 10.
Ducks will be available for purchase at the Batavia campus in the forum, up until the start of the race.
Ticket purchasers will be assigned to a numbered rubber duck. The ducks will then be "set free" in the Olympic-size pool at GCC in Batavia. With the help of a "current" created by the college's Swim Team, the first duck to make it to the end of the swimming pool wins.
The prize will depend on what each person paid for his or her ticket. Students are selling the tickets in one-dollar increments from $1 to $5. Participants win a percentage of all money raised based on how much they buy the ticket for.
For example, if a $1 duck wins, the winner will receive 10 percent of the funds raised. If a $2 duck wins, the winner gets 20 percent, and so on, up to 50 percent for a $5 duck.
For further information or to purchase a duck, please contact Rick Dudkowski, Business Faculty member, at 343-0055, ext. 6390 or at <http://mrdudkowski@genesee.edu.>.
