Thanks to the overwhelming support of the community, this year's Duck Derby was another success for the kids who rely on YESS!
While the weather was a little "fowl" on Race Day, it was still a great day to celebrate the community's commitment to keeping kids safe and families together!
Thank you to everyone who volunteered their time, adopted a duck, showed up on Race Day, or in any other way helped make this year's event a success. Your belief in our mission helps hundreds of children each day find shelter, care, and protection when they need it most!
See you next year! Be sure to mark Saturday, May 7, 2016 on your calendar for the 2016 YESS Duck Derby

Thank you to everyone who helped us celebrate the completion of our emergency shelter expansion -
the Don and Margo Blumenthal Variety-the Children's Charity Youth Campus!
With nearly 250 people walking through our doors, we were proud to show the community how their support changes the lives of children who seek shelter under YESS' roof.
