Thessalonika Family Services, more commonly known as Rancho Damacitas, has been in the Temecula Valley for over 20 years providing housing and healing care for children who have been severely abused or neglected. This Rubber Ducky Derby will be their signature fundraising event and as Cliff Nunn, Director of Development for TFS recently said, This event is a great way for us to say Thank you to a community that has supported us for over 20 years and bring some fun to Temecula, encouraging families to get out and enjoy a day together while at the same time making a positive difference in the community. This event will have over 65 vendors, 50 winning prizes, raffles drawings, a silent auction and a large kids activities area. There is no charge to come to this event, and no charge for parking. All proceeds from each $5 duck adoption goes directly to providing healing services for the children cared for by TFS.
