Bullfinchs owner Peggy and Scott Richardson were first-hand witnesses to the love, support, and care the Program provides to families, when Scott's then three year old daughter and Peggy's granddaughter Maddy became sick more than 10 years ago.

The first race was held in the Summer of 2004 and each year, more and more participants purchase ducks and watch them race for this amazing cause.

On race day, all ducks are placed into the Grist Mill at the Wayside Inn. As the ducks floats down the stream, the first three to cross the finish line are winners! First, second and third place ducks will receive cash prizes and/or a gift certificate to Bullfinchs.The remainder of the funds raised goes directly to UMass Medical Center.

Participation is simple! Ducks can be "adopted" for $5.00 each at Bullfinchs. The restaurant is located at 730 Boston Post Road in Sudbury or by calling 978-443- 4094.

Those interested in "adopting" more than one duck can do so by calling Peggy or Scott directly. For more information, please call Bullfinchs at 978/443-4094 or log onto www.bullfinches.com.
