TCCH has held the family-centered “The Great Duck Derby’ at Capt Hirams since 2013. Uncertainty about group gatherings, even outside, coupled with determination to continue tradition, led to more TCCH creativity.

The Great Duck Derby was held as a virtual 2020 event on Facebook Live. Adoptions were down with many of our business partners struggling to stay open. However, individual community members came through and showed great support under the circumstances. We gained new friends in the Vero Beach Life Guard Association and others who adopted ducks for the first time, including some of our winners.

The best thing about our 2020 “The Great Duck Derby” winners is they kept giving back! Not only did they adopt ducks, but first place winner Kathryn Hensley and second place winner Steve Schwartz gave their winnings back to TCCH, and third place winner Kathy Faux is sharing with a friend. Our hearts are full.

What TCCH does in providing health care for those that are most in need is near and dear to my heart. It’s the right thing to do. — Hensley

I bought my ticket because I wanted to support TCCH. Their mission is so important in helping residents of our community get and stay healthy. —Schwartz

Adopting a duck was a cute idea and a nice way to support a local organization. — Faux
