Our Third Annual Duck Race held July 20th
On Nazareth Day Weekend our Club held their Annual Rubber Duck Race on July 20th, 2024 at 10:00 AM at the Nazareth Boro Park Pool. Highlighting this event was an animated duck that attracted crowds to our Basket Raffle to buy Duck tickets and Raffle Tickets.
A special thank you to our local Nazareth Businesses who sold tickets and contributed to the Nazareth Community Basket for the Raffles. The net profit of this fundraiser was approximately $5000.00. Proceeds went to the following non-profit organization: Nazareth YMCA; Nazareth Food Bank and the Memorial Library of Nazareth and Vicinity.
