Duck Fest Derby
The 18th Annual Duck Fest Derby presented by JM Family Enterprises is one of South Florida’s premier charity events.

Then 40,000 rubber ducks will be dropped in the New River to race for prizes and in support of our mission. Community members can buy entries in the race by forming “Duck Teams” or adopting individual ducks for $5 each for a chance to win one of our fabulous prizes including the grand prize of $10,000.
