Join us for two days of fun at Finley River Park for the annual Sertoma Duck Race. Various events and festivities from 5pm on Friday evening through Saturday at 11pm. The Rubber Duck race will begin at 6:00 pm on Saturday. This event benefits Care to Learn, Children Smile Center and Freedom's Rest (Christian County Crisis Center).

Care to Learn has touched the lives of over 11,000 children. For thousands of Christian County kids, education is an afterthought to survival. When basic needs go unmet, kids struggle to focus on studies. Worn out poorly fitting clothes affect a kid's sense of belonging. Being made fun of leads to absenteeism and drop out. Poverty can alienate kids, making school a scary and lonely place. These kids want to be accepted. Care to Learn's funds help schools meet the immediate needs of kids.

The Children's Smile Center began as a community-led, grassroots effort. The Smile Center provides a high-quality, non-profit dental facility serving low-income and pregnant mothers in Christian and surrounding counties in Missouri.

Freedom's Rest is a discreet shelter in an undisclosed location in Christian County serving those who are seeking shelter from domestic violence, threats of further harm and those who have been sexually assaulted and need a safe hiding place. It is the only shelter of its kind in Christian County. The shelter is currently able to house 17 adults and their children in a temporary safe haven, while teaching them the skills needed to begin life anew.
