It’s that time of year again in Nashville when as many as 10,000 rubber ducks compete in the Nashville 2014 Kiwanis Incredible Duck Splash! The event takes place this weekend, on Saturday, August 30, 2014 at 3:30 pm in the Lazy River at Nashville Shores Waterpark.

This is the second year for the event and YOU are cordially invited to get in on the fun by adopting ducks to compete in the event, and attending! Through Duck Adoptions, this community event funds the Nashville Kiwanis Club’s philanthropic grant program. By adopting a duck today you will help support local charities that improve the lives of children in Middle Tennessee! Your duck adoption(s) help fund important programs at: Book’em, CASA Nashville, Children’s Miracle Network at Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital, Ducks Unlimited, Fisk University, GraceWorks Ministries, Hiram Lodge Preservation Inc., Mental Health America, Nashville Symphony, Rally Foundation for Childhood Cancer Research, Salvation Army Nashville Area Command, Special Olympics Tennessee, Tennessee Voices for Children, Unlock the Champion, and the Kiwanis family clubs of Kentucky and Tennessee to support our Kiwanis Global Campaign for Children to eliminate maternal/neonatal tetanus.

On event day, KIDS “Quacktivities” will kick off at 3:00 pm with the race commencing at 3:30. For those who are interested, Nashville Shores is offering discounted admission to the park in honor of Kiwanis Family Day (use promo code “kids” on the Nashville Shores homepage).These discounted tickets are $16.99 instead of the usual $34.99 per person, and $9.00 pre-paid parking passes can be purchased also. The Donor of the winning duck will receive $10,000, and additional prizes will be awarded. We invite you and your family to join us for an afternoon of fun in the sun, all to benefit many worthy causes in our region.
