DUNYA NEWS – In the 2023 Chicago Ducky Derby, a multitude of rubber ducks navigated the Chicago River, vying to reach the finish line.
The yearly occasion enables individuals to sponsor these rubber ducks, with the generated funds being directed towards supporting the Special Olympics.
The funds aim to help the organisation to “continue to provide year-round opportunities in competitive sports, health education, leadership and personal development to more than 21,000 children and adults with intellectual disabilities across the state”, a press release said.
Special Olympics Illinois athlete, Josh – who has earned gold and bronze medals in gymnastics – served as the 2023 Duck Ambassador.
