2026 Duck Pluck, Wednesday September 23

by

The 2026 Special Olympics Georgia Duck Pluck is back! This event brings our community together to support the 24,218 athletes with intellectual and development disabilities across the state of Georgia. On September 23, 2026, thousands of “adopted” rubber ducks will be and entered into the Duck Pluck for a chance to win exciting prizes—all while raising critical funds for year-round sports training, competition, and health programs provided by Special Olympics Georgia. Individuals and companies are invited to participate by adopting a duck, hosting a sales day at your local event, or showing their support through sponsorship opportunities. For more information on getting involved please contact Sam Elkins at sam.elkins@specialolympicsga.org

Special Olympics Georgia (SOGA) is excited to announce that the 2024 State Fall Games make-up date is set for Friday, November 22nd and Saturday, November 23rd. All schedules will remain the same, except reflecting the new dates. SOGA will provide updated schedules, brackets and the information guide to all agencies and volunteers within the next few days. SOGA will also post this update on the SOGA website and social media pages. SOGA is also continuing communication with Quiet Pines Golf Course, to ensure that the conditions of the golf course will allow SOGA to host the golf venue on Saturday, November 23rd. As soon as that is confirmed, SOGA will notify programs with golf delegates.

 

Agencies need to let SOGA know by this Friday, October 18th, 2024, if your agency is attending with the same registered delegates OR your agency is scratching from games. This is extremely important, so that SOGA has the time to adjust all sports divisions and release hotel rooms.

HOD’s, please share this information with all your delegates and their families.
