No animals were harmed in this duck hunt, which raised $30,000 for a good cause.
About 2,000 rubber ducks did their part to help raise funds to benefit the new Sea to Sky Community Hospice facility, which is planned to open next spring.
At 2:15 p.m. on August 12th the giant flock tumbled down the chute of a Cardinal Concrete truck into a pool.
Five winning birds were then plucked from the their habitat by a blindfolded “duck picker.”
The winners with the lucky duck numbers were:

The Rotary Duck-in-a-Truck fundraiser raised $30,000 for the Sea to Sky Community Hospice.

The club extended its thanks to its sponsors, including Cardinal Concrete and Coast Aggregates.
