Pay It Forward to Save Lives with TCCH’s The Great Duck Derby

July 5, 2021

Treasure Coast Community Health (TCCH) Foundation announces the start of its 9th annual The Great Duck Derby fundraiser. Duck adoptions and event sponsorships are now open, with the race scheduled for October 24 from Noon to 4 pm at Capt Hiram’s Resort.

This year, TCCH is encouraging everyone to pay it forward to benefit their mission of healthcare for all. Duck adoptions and event sponsorship proceeds assist people who need help paying for their health care. This includes men and women, young and old, uninsured and insured. When you pay it forward, you show kindness, you give hope, you save lives.

Fifty percent of Indian River County residents live in or near poverty. Imagine the amount of good that can come from 5,000 duck adoptions and unlimited sponsorships. Consider adopting ducks for your friends and neighbors as an additional way to pay it forward.
