Celebrating Our Varsity All-Stars

What Makes a Varsity All-Star?

The Ducks Unlimited Varsity All-Star recognition program is modeled after the local adult chapters’ All-Star program, with a focus on calendar-year fundraising results. In 2023, varsity chapters collectively raised an impressive $600,000 to support wetlands conservation. 

To qualify for All-Star status, Varsity chapters must have raised at least $10,000 through the following revenue streams: 

• Event Income from all chapter events (minimum $5,000 to qualify) 
• Silent Bid Auction Income 
• Donor-Directed Major Gifts 

Chapters are recognized at three levels based on their fundraising: 

• Gold All-Star: $30,000+ 
• Silver All-Star: $20,000–$29,999 
• Bronze All-Star: $10,000–$19,999
