I wonder who ever thought it was a good idea to pour 80thousand pieces of plastic into a river. but I can't have a straw or a plastic bag..

Unlike most people, I look up things that I've never seen or heard of before, so I checked it out. It's the Ducky Derby held annually to raise money for the Special Olympics. People can sponsor a Ducky for $10.00 and win prizes like a brand new Chevy or $2,500.00 . At the end of the race all of the Duckies are collected for use the next year. This year's event raised more than $600,000.00 . So relax, their not real duck's and they aren't left in the river.

Once the race is over they are taken out in nets and reused the following year. Proceeds raised from the race are for the Special Olympics.

you adopt a ducky then race down river... raises awareness and funds for special Olympics. helps to read things and do your homework people ... especially before passing unnecessary judgments.

I’m sure those ducks cost $.50 cent to $1 for one , that’s $40,000-$80,000 you could of fed the homeless with 🤷🏽‍♂️

They are rubber ducks with numbers that “race” down the river to the finish line for a Special Olympics fundraiser, which generates about $500,000. It’s an annual event. The winner receives a new vehicle.

For all you complaining about the environment. Many don’t care about the environment in our country, but you are worried about a river because it’s a fund raiser for the Special Olympics. They seem to be more concerned about the environment than most!

They are contained in a designated area on the river and immediately scooped out by volunteers with the help of netting, with a dedicated "duck collector" on hand to pluck them from the water.

Aren’t these plastic ducks dangerous to the environment. What’s wrong with these liberals in Chicago. Some poor fish just might choke on them .

The 80,000 rubber ducks were dropped into the Chicago River as part of the annual Chicago Ducky Derby, a fundraiser for Special Olympics Illinois. Participants "adopt" ducks for a donation, and the ducks race down the river, with prizes awarded to the winners. The event raises money for Special Olympics Illinois athletes and is a popular summer tradition.
