Duck Dive

Press release from Forsyth County Schools:

• Since 2016, the Forsyth County Education Foundation has provided $355,000 in grants for students and teachers. But, even with this success, we have not been able to meet all the needs in our schools. This is why we need everyone's help to make a big splash for education again with our annual fundraiser, the DUCK DIVE FOR EDUCATION!

For only $10, you could win $10,000 and support grants for schools!

The 2022 Duck Dive for Education has begun and will end with the Duck Dive drawing on April 1, 2022 at 1PM at the Cumming Aquatic Center. Students, parents and the community are invited to adopt a duck by paying $10 to enter the raffle. Each duck adoption gives you the chance to win $10,000 and supports grants in our schools. Click here for the rules and regulations.

A Duck Dive is a raffle. When you adopt a duck for only $10, you will be assigned a duck number. Please see the list with links below to adopt a duck (or 2 or 3 or more!). The list of duck numbers will be available here on March 25, 2022 so you know your assigned duck number before the raffle drawing. All numbered ducks will be thrown into a "pond". At the drawing, one lucky duck will be drawn and the winner will win $10,000. Click here to watch the drawing from 2021

All money raised from the Duck Dive will go toward grants in our schools in fall 2022. Over $115,000 was raised in 2021 and went directly back into our schools for grants in August 2021.

We hope to make an even bigger splash in 2022, and we need you to be a Quacker Backer!
