The Duck Race to End Racism is an annual event that brings together all parts of the community for an afternoon of fun for everyone! Thousands of floating rubber Ducks will race in heats down a portion of Onondaga Creek near the Syracuse Inner Harbor. Prizes will be awarded to the sponsor of the Duck that crosses the finish line first in each race. In addition to the main attraction of the race, the day will include Entertainment, information booths for community organizations and activities for children and families, all geared towards creating a festival-like atmosphere.

About Community Wide Dialogue (CWD) to End Racism

Community Wide Dialogue (CWD) to End Racism is the longest-running dialogue program on ending racism in the United States. Using the study circle, we build relationships and create a forum for action among people who may not otherwise have the opportunity to meet, work, and learn from one another. We forge racial and ethnic healing that leads to community action and understanding.

About InterFaith Works

InterFaith Works formerly known as The InterReligious Council (IRC) of Central New York was founded in 1976 to bring together the wonderfully diverse array of faith traditions in our community, with the belief that engagement among these different faith groups would lead to understanding, friendships and a collaborative strength to address community issues. Today, this remains the essence of our work.
