Capital Region Sponsor-a-Scholar will launch its first-ever Duck Derby on Saturday, Aug. 16 at Albany’s Riverfront Park. The event begins at 10 a.m. and the sponsor of the winning duck will win a grand prize of $2,500!
If you’re interested in adopting a duck — each one will have a unique registration number — for as little as $5, please contact Debby Gardner at d.gardner@hvcc.edu. She will send you a mail-in registration form.
Sponsor-a-Scholar’s mission is to assist economically-disadvantaged young men and women to graduate from high school and attend college. Founded in 1996, the organization now serves more than 300 aspiring scholars from Albany, Schenectady and Troy high schools, providing mentors, academic tutoring for selected students, in addition to scholarships.
President Drew Matonak serves on the Sponsor-a-Scholar Board of Directors.
