Alaska Chadux Network Supports the Great Alaska Duck Race

This September, Alaska Chadux Network was proud to once again support the Great Alaska Duck Race, an annual community event hosted by Alaska EXCEL that brings people together while raising funds for nonprofit organizations supporting education and local communities across Alaska.

As part of the event, ACN helped boom Ship Creek in Anchorage, creating a controlled area to safely capture the ducks as they made their way downstream. While the race may be all about the ducks, making it happen takes teamwork, planning, and the right resources—and ACN was happy to lend a hand.


This year marks another opportunity for ACN to support an event that combines community, fun, and fundraising for important causes throughout Alaska.

We’re proud to contribute our expertise and resources to community events like the Great Alaska Duck Race and to be part of an organization that gives back to the communities where we live and work.

Thank you to Alaska EXCEL, the event organizers, volunteers, participants, and everyone who helped make this year’s race a success.

We’ll see you at the creek next year! 🦆
