Help Family Centered Services reach its goal!

Family Centered Services, Inc. is working feverishly to get their ducks in a row, and you can help! The 5th Annual Duck Race on the Wabash is August 14th, and Family Centered Services has many more ducks available for you to sponsor. By helping with the Duck Race you can win big while also supporting families and youth in our community. This year your ducks go twice as far toward helping Family Centered Services, since an anonymous donor is matching funds raised by the Duck Race.

Family Centered Services is still approximately $5,500 short of their $25,000 goal and we would like to encourage folks to get their tickets as soon as possible.

By purchasing a duck, participants have the chance to win the grand prize of $1,000 or 29 other prizes valued at $75-$300 donated by Wells, Huntington & Adams County merchants.

A single duck is $5. A “Quack Sack” is $20 and includes 5 ducks and a free grocery tote, and a “Skipper’s Deck” is $50 and includes 12 ducks and a free t-shirt.

“We are so grateful that we were able to enlist 54 corporate sponsors and 84 merchants in Wells, Huntington and Adams County to donate prizes, especially in this economic environment”, Ginny Fenstermaker, Executive Director, noted.

The duck race is scheduled for Saturday, August 14th from 1:00pm to 3:00pm at Kehoe Park in Bluffton. Free children’s games and snacks will be held from 1:00pm to 1:45pm with the duck drop kicking off the race at 2:00pm.

Stop by the FCS office at 123 S Marion St. in Bluffton from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday or call 260-824-8574 to buy your lucky duck.

All prize winners will be posted on the FCS website at www.familycenteredservices.org and will also be published in the local newspapers. You do not have to be present to win.
