MEMPHIS, Tenn. May 1, 2019 Each spring, Ducks Unlimited has announced its All-American list of top-producing collegiate chapters throughout the nation. This elite group is considered the best of the best when it comes to fundraising and overall chapter strength.

To qualify as an All-American, chapters must raise a minimum of $25,000 in event income in a calendar year. Collegiate chapters throughout the country raised more than $2.1 million in 2018, more than $1.5 million of which was from the All-American chapters.

DUs university program continues to be a vital part of our organizations mission. It is a valued revenue generator for our conservation efforts, as well as an important source of organizational awareness and leadership, said David Schuessler, DU's national director of event fundraising. I congratulate not only the All-American chapter volunteers, but all college students who have chosen to support DU through university chapters.
