Lucky Duck Night: February 7 & 14, 2026

Share the rock, share your luck = $1,000 per assist toward ending youth homelessness

The UC San Diego Men’s and Women’s basketball teams are hosting “Lucky Duck Night” at two of their upcoming home games at LionTree Arena – February 7 during the women’s game vs. Hawaii and February 14 during the men’s game vs. UC Riverside

Co-branded t-shirts will be given away and our collective efforts to end youth homelessness will be featured on the arena video boards and ESPN broadcasts.

When the Tritons “share the rock,” we will “share the luck” by donating $1,000 toward ending youth homelessness for every UC San Diego assist.

We hope to see you at LionTree Arena as we team up with UC San Diego to end youth homelessness!
