Admission to the event is free. All proceeds from the Duck Drop raffle will go to support the Greater Glens Falls Senior Citizens Center, Inc., Glens Falls Kiwanis Foundation, Inc., Big Brothers/Big Sisters of the Southern Adirondacks, WAIT House, and Scouting America Troop/Cub Scout Pack 6016 (Queensbury, NY).
