The Sundial Riffle Raffle is a unique event designed as a fundraising opportunity for the Rotary Clubs of Northern California Foundation Against Substance Abuse and local schools and youth groups. Originally presented as the Ducky Derby, it has returned over $5 million to local schools and youth groups.
Funds from the Sundial Riffle Raffle are to be used for Substance Abuse Prevention Programs and Youth Development. This is a unique partnership, where Redding East Rotary provides the infrastructure for students to sell tickets. If the Rotary Club is able to raise adequate funds to cover the cost of the race, 100% of ticket sales are returned to the youth groups.
Here we’ve compiled a list of valuable links to Programs, Foundations, and Organizations dedicated to drug abuse prevention.

“A Life in the Community For Everyone”
Kelly Nickel’s Bucketfilling school assemblies and workshops use music, motion, and memorization to make learning active, sticky, and fun. The simplicity of the metaphor makes it easy to everyone to remember that we all have feelings, we all like feeling good, and it’s the way we treat each other that either makes us feel better or makes us feel worse. It’s a simple binary choice.
