Duck Duck Donate!

We're excited to announce that FoCo Cafe is once again participating in the Fort Collins Rotary Duck Race on Saturday, September 6, 2025 at City Park Pool from 11am-2pm!

Last year, with your incredible support, we raised $1,840 through duck adoptions. This year, we're setting our sights on $2,500 to help us continue providing nutritious meals to our community through our pay-what-you-can model and Meal Exchange program.

Why Your Support Matters

For every duck you "adopt," 80% of the proceeds come directly to FoCo Cafe. This means your $25 duck adoption translates to $20 supporting our mission to create a space where everyone can enjoy a nutritious meal regardless of their ability to pay.

How to Participate

• Adopt a Duck (or a whole flock!): Each duck adoption gives you a chance to win big cash prizes while supporting our work
• Spread the Word: Share this fundraiser with friends, family, and on social media
• Join Us on Race Day: Come watch the excitement as thousands of rubber ducks race down the lazy river at City Park Pool

Last Year's Winners Won Big!

Last year's top three ducks won $3,000, $1,500, and $500 respectively. This year's prizes are still being determined, but expect them to be just as exciting!

Quack, quack!
