Million Dollar Duck Race
The Lee High School Orchestra is proud to announce its sixth annual “Million Dollar Duck Race,” set for 9 a.m., Saturday, November 7, at the C.J. Kelly Park, 5500 League Drive. Orchestra students are selling ducks for $5 each. The winner of the duck race will receive a $1,500 prize, and runner-up prizes include tickets to the Dallas Cowboys vs. Washington Redskins game, a $500 gas gift card and a PlayStation. One lucky duck will be insured for $1 million. If that duck finishes first, the buyer of the duck will receive a $1 million prize. Jay Hendricks will emcee the vent.
Karen McAfee, LHS Orchestra director, said her students sold 4,000 ducks last year, and hope to sell 5,000 ducks this year. “The kids really work hard to do a good job,” she said. “The fundraiser will help pay for our spring trip to Colorado Springs, and for the extra things we do.” Private lesson scholarships for economically disadvantaged students, college scholarships, and more are made possible by the funds raised.
