Board members and club volunteers collected the final ducks approximately four hours after the race began.
On July 16th, the club also announced the winners of its Rocky Mountain Adventure Raffle, the other major fundraiser for the season.
The first place helicopter adventure trip for two, courtesy of Hy-Ridge Helicopters, was awarded to Dennis Nobiss of Sparwood.
Second prize, a guided fly fishing trip and equipment for two from Crowsnest Café and Fly Shop, went to Babs Lucas of Vancouver.
Lastly, the third place fly fishing gear prize pack was awarded to Valerie Nolan of Coleman.
The club also raised funds on the weekend through sales of lemonade and bottled water for $2 each.
Through a combination of efforts, as well as donations from several businesses, the club raised more than $25,000 in total during the course of the campaign.
“The campaign was quite successful,” said Warris. “Plus, I feel we increased the awareness of the Boys and Girls Club within the community considerably.”
