Quack quack! 'Ducky Derby' looks to help people in need

WILSON COUNTY, Tenn. — It's your chance to win some cash and help out a great cause -- all at the same time!

NewsChannel 5 Anchor Carrie Sharp will emcee the Wilson County Community Help Center's annual Ducky Derby Party again this year! It's coming up on Saturday, May 3.

Here's how it works: buy a duck for $10, and if your duck is pulled, you'll win a prize -- the top prize is $2,000 cash!

You don't have to be present at the party to win — you only need to buy a duck!

All of the money goes toward the Wilson County Community Help Center, which provides food, clothing, and other essentials to those in need.

Longtime breakfast tradition continues for friends who met through Big Brothers Big Sisters mentorship

This is a beautiful story of chosen family, proving a father figure doesn't have to have biology in common to make a difference in a child's life. The story of De'Andre and Alex will remind you that our relationships help determine the course of our lives. And that being supportive of someone - through a meal, a shared experience or even swim lessons can make all the difference.
