The prizes are pretty amazing, but the biggest winners are the Durham teens and adults who will learn to read and write as a result of your support. The race will raise funds necessary for books and other learning aids, tutor training supplies, and GED testing fees. One $10 duck will buy a workbook for one beginner reader, two $10 ducks will buy training supplies for one tutor, and one $250 corporate duck will buy materials for two ESOL classes serving up to 30 adult learners.
