For the last two years The Hamilton County Reporter has thrown down that feathered gauntlet to support Noblesville Main Street’s (NMS) Annual Duck Race, and both times we have been proud to see our duck call answered! The following are the businesses & individuals who bought 100 Duck Race tickets each and the non-profits promised the donations if they won:
Hamilton County Reporter (supporting The Feeding Team), Johnson & Company (supporting Nickel Plate Express), CCHA (supporting Noblesville Main Street), Noblesville Magazine (supporting Fifty Club), Dick & Margaret Gordon (supporting Bridge of Flowers), and Adam Grubb Media (supporting Noblesville Youth Assistance Program).
In the end, NMS, itself a non-profit, was the biggest winner of the day. Not only did they get the proceeds not wing-marked for prizes, but a pair of local philanthropists who asked to remain anonymous to our readers had Saturday’s fastest rubber duck and gave all the money to NMS. What the flock!? How did such a good organization get so lucky?
