Steel City Duck Derby
The Steel City Duck Derby is a family-friendly event that raises important funds for the Partners For Quality family of nonprofit agencies. Our agencies support thousands of local people with intellectual disabilities, autism and behavioral health challenges.
Held at Allegheny Commons Park on the North Side, the Steel City Duck Derby features games, music, face painting, food and prizes. The event culminates in 10,000 rubber ducks racing through Lake Elizabeth. Ducks may be adopted for as little as $5 each – and the top five finishers win prizes for those who adopted them. Top prize is $2,000. Proceeds benefit the Partners For Quality family of nonprofit agencies. Our agencies support thousands of local people with intellectual disabilities, autism and behavioral health challenges.
