The Greater Washington Boys & Girls Club will be hosting their first ‘Pirate Duck Race’ event at the Splashdown Water Park in Manassas.
The fundraiser will start Saturday, Aug. 22 at 11 a.m., and participants that buy rubber ducks from the organization will be able to ‘race’ them at the water park’s lazy river, said Prince William Boys & Girls Club President Jason Hickman.
Participants also get a discounted rate of $9 to enter the water park that day.
“It’s to raise awareness for the Boys & Girls Club – it’s a fundraiser. The money stays in the Northern Virginia region,” Hickman said.
Manassas Mayor Hal Parrish will be announcing the start of the race, and the winners will be eligible to win some exciting prizes.
Hickman said that the prizes included Redskins tickets, fitness training certificates, $25 gift certificates to downtown Manassas restaurants, cash prizes, airline tickets, Potomac Nationals tickets, and even hotel stays.
The goal for the Boys & Girls Club is to sell 5,000 rubber ducks, said Hickman.
Each duck costs $5, or are sold 10 for $45 and 20 for $90, according to Hickman.
The Boys & Girls Club will be hosting pub crawls in downtown Manassas on August 7 and 14, to promote the event and sell ducks, according to Hickman. The pub crawls will include El Cactus, Okra’s, CJ Finz and Monza.
“We are hopeful on having a good turnout from not only the people who buy the ducks, but also government officials who will be coming out as well,” said Hickman.
You can still register online for the event.
