Thank You Thanks to all who supported the 3rd Annual Fayetteville Duck Derby on May 4th, 2013, hosted by Fayetteville Urban Ministry and Rick Hendrick Toyota Scion. We celebrated with plenty of great food, unique quality products, exciting entertainment, and valuable information about community resources. All of this would have simply been impossible without the individuals, families, businesses, and organizations that make Cumberland County such a special place to live! This year we saw nearly 2,000 patrons, dropped nearly 11,000 ducks (not to mention 35 Corporate Duck Racers), and raised over $55,000 to support 38 non-profits serving the greater Cumberland County area! With your support we are working together to "Build a Better Community" for years to come! A special thanks to our...
