Canal Fest of the Tonawandas
It’s
that time of year again and your duck from last year is up for adoption
and placement in this year’s Annual Duck Race at Canal Fest 2010.
The
race is scheduled to be held on Saturday, July 24 at 3:00 p.m.
The ducks are all up for adoption and this year participation in the
race is made easy. You
can adopt before or during the week of Canal Fest. Avoid the
lines and not getting a duck by adopting before Canal Fest begins.
- For a $5.00 donation, you will be the proud adoptive parent of a racing duck, again.
- For a $25 donation, you will get 6 ducks or a “Quack Pack” entered into the race.
- Double your money and for $50 you will receive a “Quacker’s Dozen” or 13 ducks swimming down the canal.
Adoptions prior to the race can be done one of three ways:
- You can adopt your Duckies right on line on our Adoption Page.
- Download our Adoption Form, fill it out and follow the payment and mailing instructions.
- You can call the Event Coordinator, Katie Trombley, 285-3403 ext. 2225 and she will take the information over the phone for your adoption.
The ducks are adopted out on a First Come, First Serve basis, so don't wait!
Because of your support last year Community Missions was
able to provide:
- Over 67,000 meals to the hungry.
- Almost 6,300 nights of shelter for 483 homeless individuals and families.
- Residential, vocational and socialization support for more than 600 adults with mental illness.
- Homes and programs for over 200 at-risk youth.
- More than 7,500 visits to our clothes closet for people to get free winter coats, job appropriate outfits, infant clothing, furniture and more.
And did you know?
- $25 = 3 food baskets with 27 meals for needy families
- $50 = 3 days of crisis housing for a victim and children of domestic violence
- $100 = Support for a homeless youth for a week
- $250= Housing and meals for a homeless family of 5 for a week
There is one thing left to do…ADOPT A DUCK! Adopting prior to the race guarantees that you will have a duck in this year’s race. After all, the saying goes, “You got to be in it, to win it.”
Community Missions wants the canal to be filled with multi-colored
ducks from businesses and individuals throughout Niagara and Erie
Counties. With the state of our economy, our communities are using
CMI’s services more and more every day. WE need YOUR help.
