What is Augusta Duck Dash?
It’s a seriously fun event with a seriously important goal: save local infants from SIDS and make sure children have a safe place to sleep at night.
By supporting the Augusta Duck Dash, presented by Duckworth Development, you are supporting the Family YMCA’s A Place to Dream program. Since 2017, the Family Y of Greater Augusta has provided more than 2,000 beds to children in need. In partnership with News 12 NBC 26 and Wellstar MCG Health, the Family Y also provides pack-n-plays to families in need with infants.
