Thousands of Rubber Ducks Heading to Buckhead for Special Olympics

ATLANTA, GA — Special Olympics Georgia will host its annual Duck Pluck on Friday, August 12.

Thousands of yellow rubber ducks will jump in the pool at Post Chastain Apartments to support Special Olympics Georgia, which provides sports training and athletic competition to over 27,000 athletes across the state.

The event will begin at 1:00 pm, with ducks adopted by the Atlanta community joining the pool. Tingle from Star 94.1 FM will pluck five lucky ducks, whose owner will win one of the five prizes: a 2 night stay at The King &Prince Beach and Golf Resort on St. Simons Island, a 2 night cabin rental from Black Bear Cabin Rentals in Blue Ridge, Georgia, Diamond Hoop Earrings, a $150 QuikTrip Gift Card and a $100 Visa Gift Card.

Ducks are still available to be adopted for only five dollars per duck. There is no limit to how many ducks an individual can adopt, and your chances of winning increase with the purchase of our Quack Pack: $30 for the adoption of seven ducks. All proceeds go towards Special Olympics Georgia athletes' sports training and participation in State Games.
