Projects
The duck race
On 1 June, a mini-festival for children that ends with ten thousand rubber ducks launched on the Crișul Repede.
About the project
It is held on Children's Day and becomes, for a few hours, a mini-festival: activities for children on the bank of the Crișul Repede. The race comes at the end. Ten thousand rubber ducks are launched on the water at once, and the ones that reach the finish line first win prizes for whoever adopted them. It is the club's most visible project, and the one through which the most people see us in a single day.
Objectives
- A Children's Day that children in Oradea look forward to.
- Fundraising through a simple mechanism: you adopt a duck.
- An event out in the city, in plain sight, not in a closed hall.
Who it is for
The children of Oradea who come to the festival, and the causes supported from the funds raised at each edition.
What it meant, in figures
- ducks launched at each edition
