Why Register?

Be part of something bigger than race day!

When you register for the Rubber Duckie Race & Festival, you’re joining a community that shows up for kids and families across central PA. Whether you’re running, walking, or cheering from the sidelines, your participation helps create a welcoming experience for all abilities.

It’s a chance to celebrate 90 years of impact, connect with your community, and support a cause that helps children build skills, confidence, and independence.

Can't make it to the event? You can still help Schreiber kids by hosting an individual or team fundraiser! And you can always adopt a duckie here to make a difference in the lives of #SchreiberKids. 

How Your Support Makes a Difference

$2.5 Million

That’s the gap we work to close each year to ensure children across central PA can receive the therapy services they need.

As a nonprofit pediatric therapy center, most of the children we serve rely on Medicaid, which doesn’t fully cover the cost of care. In fact, we lose an average of $74 for every hour of therapy provided.

Your registration helps bring our community together and supports the programs and services families rely on every day.

Thank you for your support!
