CURRENT PROJECTS
OPERATION DUCK
DR PEPPER BALLPARK
FRISCO TX
SATURDAY, APRIL 25, 2020 (POSTPONED)
The race-date has changed out of national necessity.
We will post a new date once we receive confirmation from our sponsored venue.
Frisco VFW Post 8273 is joining the Frisco RoughRiders for the inaugural debut of OPERATION DUCK: the first 'official' duck race in Frisco, Texas, benefiting military service members, veterans, their families, and the local community. While we can never truly repay the debt we owe our heroes, we are determined to show our brave veterans the continued support and gratitude for their commitment to our way of life.
The Frisco Auxiliary 8273 is assisting with this effort: working several events, creating marketing materials, and promoting duck adoptions and sponsorships. Thank you members and volunteers who are helping to make this the BIGGEST SPLASH in Frisco! Check back here for information about where we'll be next to help promote Operation Duck!
