What is the Cincinnati Rubber Duck Regatta?

The Cincinnati Rubber Duck Regatta is an annual fundraising event where thousands of rubber ducks are sold. Each duck is entered into a drawing for big prizes, with all proceeds going to the Freestore Foodbank.

Why Support the Freestore Foodbank?

The Freestore Foodbank is a cornerstone of support for those in need in the Cincinnati area. Founded in 1971, this nonprofit organization provides over 37 million meals annually across 20 counties in Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana. Their comprehensive services extend beyond food distribution; they offer job training, emergency assistance, and help with navigating social services, all aimed at fostering self-sufficiency and stability.

By participating in the Rubber Duck Regatta, you’re directly supporting these critical services. Each duck you sponsor helps provide food and hope to children, seniors, and families struggling with hunger.
