A virtual duck race fundraiser is a modern, online alternative to traditional rubber duck races. Instead of a physical river event, supporters watch a professionally produced duck race video, purchase entries online, and celebrate real winners — all without permits, weather risks, or logistics.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a virtual duck race fundraiser?
A virtual duck race fundraiser is an online fundraising event where supporters purchase entries and watch a professionally produced duck race video instead of attending a physical race.
How long does setup take?
Most fundraisers can launch in just a few days once you decide on your prizes and sponsors.
Do participants need special software?
No. Supporters simply watch the promotional video, click the link to buy their ducks, and tune in for the live race.
How are winners chosen?
Winners are randomly selected at the end of the promotional period (when you stop selling ducks). We provide links to your state’s raffle and sweepstakes guidelines. If a physical drawing is required, we provide a printable PDF of all entries so tickets can be easily cut and drawn in person.
Is this the same as a physical duck race?
No. This is a fully virtual, online duck race experience with no river, permits, or physical event. Easy!
Can we share the race replay?
Yes. The race video can be shared after the event to highlight your cause and provide continued visibility for your sponsors.
