Every duck purchased helps us invest in the next generation of skilled professionals and support students choosing a path into the trades. 🔨⚙️🧰

Grab a duck—or four—and help us make a difference for our local high school seniors!

A huge thank you to our presenting sponsor, The Eakin Family Trust, and all of the businesses and community partners who help make this event possible.
