Rotary Club of Turton's Annual Duck Race 2026

Bringing the Magic Back to Our Community.&nbsp;For years, the Turton Rotary Club Sleigh has been a staple of the holiday season, lighting up the streets and bringing smiles to faces of all ages across the region. It isn&rsquo;t just a float; it&rsquo;s a symbol of community spirit and the primary way we raise vital funds for local charities and causes throughout the year.Unfortunately, after many miles and years of service, our beloved sleigh is in urgent need of repair. To ensure it is safe, roadworthy, and ready to sparkle for the next festive season, we need to undertake significant maintenance and upgrades.Why We Need Your Help:The sleigh is the heartbeat of our December fundraising. Without it, our ability to support local food banks, youth projects, and community initiatives is drastically reduced. We are looking to raise funds to cover:<ul fr-original-style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;padding-inline-start:48px;" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; padding-inline-start: 48px; box-sizing: inherit;"><li dir="ltr" fr-original-style="list-style-type:disc;font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;margin-left: -7.5pt;" style="list-style-type: disc; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre; margin-left: -7.5pt; box-sizing: inherit;">Structural Repairs: Ensuring the chassis and frame are secure.</li><li dir="ltr" fr-original-style="list-style-type:disc;font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;margin-left: -7.5pt;" style="list-style-type: disc; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre; margin-left: -7.5pt; box-sizing: inherit;">Electrical Upgrades: Modernising the lighting and sound system so everyone can hear the music coming!</li><li dir="ltr" fr-original-style="list-style-type:disc;font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;margin-left: -7.5pt;" style="list-style-type: disc; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre; margin-left: -7.5pt; box-sizing: inherit;">Safety Improvements: Meeting current road and safety standards for our volunteers and the public.</li><li dir="ltr" fr-original-style="list-style-type:disc;font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;margin-left: -7.5pt;" style="list-style-type: disc; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre; margin-left: -7.5pt; box-sizing: inherit;">A Fresh New Look: A much-needed coat of paint and refurbished decorations to keep the magic alive.</li><li dir="ltr" fr-original-style="list-style-type: disc; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 31, 31); background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre; margin-left: -7.5pt;" style="list-style-type: disc; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 31, 31); background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre; margin-left: -7.5pt; box-sizing: inherit;">A Safe and Secure Storage Area: We need a solid dry structure to store the sleigh throughout the year.</li></ul>How You Can Help:As a volunteer-led registered not for profit charity, every penny we raise goes directly back into the community.
