Since 2016, the Forsyth County Education Foundation has provided over $410,000 in grants for students and teachers. But, even with this success, we have not been able to meet all the needs in our schools. This is why we need everyone's help to make a big splash for education again with our annual fundraiser, the DUCK DIVE FOR EDUCATION! 

For only $10, you could win $10,000 and support grants for schools!

The deadline to join the raffle is March 31st at 10AM.  The Duck Dive drawing on March 31, 2023 at 1PM at the Cumming Aquatic Center, and you can watch here.  Students, parents and the community are invited to adopt a duck by paying $10 to enter the raffle.  Each duck adoption gives you the chance to win $10,000 and supports grants in our schools. Click here for the rules and regulations. 

A Duck Dive is a raffle.  When you adopt a duck for only $10, you will be assigned a duck number.  Please see the list with links below to adopt a duck (or 2 or 3 or more!). The list of duck numbers will be available by midnight on March 24th so you know your assigned duck number before the raffle drawing.  All numbered ducks will be thrown into a "pond". At the drawing, one lucky duck will be drawn and the winner will win $10,000.
