This is what Making A Difference Looks Like!
The Duck Race would not be possible if it wasn't for the hundreds of quacktacular volunteers that help to make it happen; from helping tag ducks, forming duck teams and getting ducks adopted, to helping on race day.
Congratulation to this year's Top Duck Teams for getting the most ducks adopted! B.J. Fitch with Fidelity Bank, Aaron Frisbee with Brevard County Tax Collectors Office, and Marycarol Soistman with Crosswinds Youth Services. A special congratulations to Community Credit Union for getting the most ducks adopted for a bank location.

Thank your for helping Crosswinds prepare for the hurricane season by trimming trees, and for giving the lobby in the Handley Center a fresh coat of much needed paint.

Not even the hot weather stopped these dedicated volunteers from coming to do some major clean-up and fence repairs at Crosswinds. Thank you very much!
