With your community support we’re able to continue world class programming and implement new programming for the 2020-2021 calendar year.”
Josephine Kelly, Development Director for Porterdale shares her excitement for Duck Derby is all about the cause.
“Duck Derby is such a creative way of raising funds for an important cause, allowing the young people of the community to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens. The City of Porterdale is thrilled to be part of the third Duck Derby,”she said.
