‍ UPCOMING EVENTS

The Duck Race is back! We’re excited to share that PAFC is an official beneficiary of the 3rd Annual Fort Collins Rotary Duck Race!

On August 29, thousands of rubber ducks will race down the Lazy River at City Park Pool, and every $25 duck adoption directly supports our work. In fact, 80% of every adoption ($20) comes right back to PAFC.

Adopters also have a chance to win cash prizes if their duck crosses the finish line first!

Last year, PAFC had three finalists in the final heat with one PAFCer taking home the 3rd place prize!! (Please note that prize winnings go to the winner and not PAFC.)

Thank you for supporting our mission. Every duck makes a difference!
