The 23rd Annual Great Brevard Duck Race
will be Virtual
|
|
The ducks are coming for a different kind of race – a virtual rubber duck race. Crosswinds has decided that for the safety of our community not to have a gathering for the Annual Great Brevard Duck Race. Instead the 23rd Annual Great Brevard Duck Race will be virtual and viewers can watch some quacky fun on Spacecoastdaily.com or on Facebook Live at spacecoastdaily and brevardduckrace starting at 3:30 p.m., on Saturday, March 27th.
All proceeds from the event help support Crosswinds' efforts to provide shelter, food, emergency services, counseling and other support to our community's most vulnerable children in need, especially during times like these. Everyone who adopts ducks will be entered into the race for a chance to win fabulous prizes including the Grand Prize, a free 2 year lease on a 2021 Honda Civic, courtesy of Space Coast Honda, and other great prizes.
Nine lucky winners will be randomly selected and their names will be announced after the race. Ducks can be adopted for a donation of $5 at www.greatbrevardduckrace.com, or at Community Credit Union, Launch Credit Union, Florida Business Bank, CenterState Bank, Sunrise Bank, Addition Financial, and other locations throughout Brevard County.

Making the Holidays Special |
|
We would like to extend our very deepest appreciation and thank you to the many businesses such as TJ Maxx and All About Roofing, organizations such as the Young Lawyers Division of the Brevard County Bar Association, caring individuals, and board members who donated special gifts, food, and monetary donations. Also, thank you to those who volunteered to make sure the holidays were a lot brighter for children, youth and families in need in our community. A tremendous thank you to the Reach Ministry in Merritt Island, for coordinating and delivering an incredible amount of gifts and for preparing a wonderful meal for the youth in the Robert E. Lehton Children’s Shelter and the Transitional Living Program. We are truly fortunate to be part of such a giving community. |

We are thrilled to have received a wonderfully unexpected donation of $5,000 from our long-time community partner the Junior League of Central and North Brevard. An enormous thank you to the dedicated members.
Since the 1990’s, the enthusiastic members of the Junior League of Central and North Brevard have been an integral part of Crosswinds by providing hundreds of hours of volunteer support from decorating the Shelter, to planting flowers, and wrapping holiday gifts. Throughout the years the members have donated additional proceeds and much need items for children and youth in Crosswinds’ programs. We are grateful for their many years of irreplaceable support in helping change the lives of many vulnerable children and their families in Brevard County.
