Not many people can say that they have a collection of rubber ducks, but at GCC, it’s not unusual to find students, faculty, and staff members sporting these funny rubber toys.

The Business Forum Club will be selling decorative rubber ducks in the cafeteria from 11:00 am – 2:00 pm on Wednesday February 26, Thursday February 27, Tuesday March 4, and Wednesday March 5.

Ducks are $1-$5, also earning you a chance to win 10-50% of the funds raised that benefit the United Way of Genesee County.

$1 Duck – 10% of the funds raised
$2 Duck – 20% of the funds raised
$3 Duck – 30% of the funds raised
$4 Duck – 40% of the funds raised
$5 Duck – 50% of the funds raised

GCC will host the sixth annual Ducky Derby on Thursday, March 6 at 12:30 pm in the pool at the Batavia Campus. Numbered ducks are set free, and with the help of a ‘current’ created by members of the Swim Team, the first duck that makes it to the end of the pool wins.

The race has become a fun tradition on campus with the Cougarettes cheering and helping celebrate the race while students, staff and faculty turn out to root for their favorite duck and support the worthy cause.
