The Columbus Duck Race, presented by the Development Board of Nationwide Children’s Hospital, is a fundraising event that supports pediatric research at the Abigail Wexner Research Institute at Nationwide Children's. The institute supports the discovery of new knowledge and its translation into novel therapeutics and diagnostic tests to advance pediatric research and improve the health and quality of life for children and their families. The impact on children who previously had little hope has been truly remarkable.
