A lot of little rubber duckies helped raise a lot of money Saturday for the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Utah.

The Rubber Ducky Derby has been a staple of the foundation for 22 years.

Supporters help raise money by purchasing a duck for a $6 donation. The ducks then race down the lazy river at the Lindon Aquatics Center and the owner of the luckiest duck takes home the grand prize — a $15,000 car credit to any Mark Miller Auto Group Dealership.
