IronPigs Raise $12,000 on Duck Night for PCFLV
\n2nd Annual \u201cDuck Night\u201d Builds Upon Successful Inaugural Event<\/strong><\/p>\n

Allentown, Pennsylvania (August 11th, 2026)<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 The Lehigh Valley IronPigs are excited to share that\u00a0\u2018Duck Night\u2019\u00a0<\/strong>presented by Lehigh Valley Reilly Children\u2019s Hospital, part of Jefferson Health, raised $12,000 for the Pediatric Cancer Foundation of the Lehigh Valley.<\/p>\n

Playing as \u2018Lehigh Valley Rubber Duckies\u2019<\/strong>\u00a0on\u00a0Duck Night\u00a0<\/strong>(July 9th), the special game-worn Rubber Duckies jerseys and caps were auctioned off after the game with all proceeds going to PCFLV. Additionally, the night\u2019s 50\/50 proceeds went to PCFLV as well as the money raised from that evening\u2019s revival of \u2018Chuck-a-Duck\u2019. 2,884 ducks were sent soaring thru the night sky at Coca-Cola Park in support of the cause.<\/p>\n

The first annual \u201cChuck-a-Duck\u201d fundraiser took place in 2025, with the more than 2,643 ducks taking flight, raising $4,195.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile Duck Night is amazingly fun and unique, the underlying purpose is to provide genuine support for the incredible work that PCFLV provides to our community,\u201d said IronPigs President and General Manager Kurt Landes. \u201cSpecial thanks to our partners at Lehigh Valley Reilly Children’s Hospital and kudos to all of our employees, partners and fans who helped to raise these valuable funds.\u201d<\/p>\n

PCFLV provides family-centered programs and services throughout all stages of the pediatric cancer journey with compassion and integrity. PCFLV\u2019s initiatives and activities offer financial assistance, emotional support, and social connection to ensure no family faces pediatric cancer alone. PCFLV is dedicated to bringing comfort, joy, and a sense of community to local children impacted by cancer and their loved ones, for as long as they are needed.<\/p>\n
