Get ready to splash into fun at the Chicago Ducky Derby on August 6th — where every adopted duck is a ticket to opportunity for athletes with intellectual disabilities. This massive fundraiser, now worth over $4.8 million since 2005, turns duck racing into a roaring celebration of inclusion. Meet Becky Cavanagh, the 13-year Special Olympics ambassador who’s already sold 900+ ducks this year, ringing the Chicago Board of Trade bell and reminding everyone: adopt a duck, support athletes, and watch them go for gold. With live music, food trucks, and a river full of cheering crowds, it’s more than a race — it’s a community party where every splash, every cheer, and every duck makes a difference. All proceeds fund training, sports, health, and leadership programs that build confidence, friendships, and champions.
