CI Solutions clients prepare over 40,000 ducks
for the annual Tri-City Rotary Great Mid-Columbia Duck Race. CI helped
establish this event over 20 years ago, and is proud to be an integral
part of it today.
Since 1905, Rotary International has been a world-wide organization
whose motto is “Service Above Self.”
Locally, six Tri-Cities Rotary Clubs strive to improve the social and
emotional wellbeing and economic conditions of families and children
throughout our region.
The Great Mid-Columbia Duck Race is one of the largest fundraising projects
that help with these efforts – providing over $2 million in support of
local agencies and service projects.
The Duck Race consists of selling ducks or tickets for a chance to win
prizes that are donated by other local businesses. For further information
on the duck race or Rotary supported agencies or projects, visit our
website www.midcolumbiaduckrace.org
As a partner in this terrific community event, we label the ducks with
waterproof numbers — one at time! Our clients have a lot of fun taking
care of our rubber friends until they are ready to be launched down the
mighty Columbia River!
Our staff also helps with logistics of the event…we help set up kiosks at local
grocery stores for ticket sales…we move the 20’ duck balloon all over the community
for promotional efforts…we transport the ducks to the Columbia River launch point
on the day of the race…and we gather up all the ducks after their race down the
river, and ship them off to their next location. |
