The Ducky 500

All proceeds support worthy local causes.

When you purchase tickets, you're supporting vital community causes such as homelessness, youth programs, environmental initiatives, and healthcare. Over the years, the Comox Rotary has kickstarted projects like the Dawn to Dawn Action on Homelessness Society, providing crucial funding and momentum. Initiatives like the WeCanShelter project, which constructed four shipping container homes, have thrived with Rotary's support. Contributions have also been made to projects like the Comox Rotary Marina Waterpark and recent efforts to enhance accessibility at the Comox Valley Child Development Association by renovating the ramp entrance.

With your help, we’ve raised over $1,000,000 for community programs, scholarships, and charities.

Join us at Lewis Park on Canada Day, Friday, July 1st, for the fun! The race starts at 1pm and the raffle winners are announced shortly after. See you there!
