Rubber Ducky Derby is Coming to Rockville

The Rockville Recreation & Parks Foundation will hold a “Rubber Ducky Derby” on Friday, July 19, to raise money for updated amenities at the Rockville Outdoor Pool (355 Martins Ln.)

According to the event’s website, “A rubber ducky derby is a community-based, fundraising event in which rubber duckies are adopted for the race by our sponsors. Each rubber ducky has a unique number associated with the sponsor who purchased it. All 5,000 of the rubber duckies will be tossed into the pool and will compete to be chosen as prize winners for their sponsors. You will quack up when you see all those rubber duckies compete in the pool!

All proceeds from Rockville Rubber Ducky Derby will benefit the extra fun amenities for the updated Rockville Outdoor Pool. The Rockville Recreation and Parks Foundation is the 501(c) nonprofit foundation sponsoring the event to raise the money for the extra amenities. All the money will go to purchase some really epic pool enhancements (like zip lines into the water, poolside basketball hoops, etc.)”
