Drowning can happen in seconds in and around your home. At Iris Family Support Center, we are committed to supporting safe, healthy homes. These simple steps can make the difference of a lifetime:

1) Never leave young children alone in the bath or pool.
2) Stay within arm’s reach when infants and young children are in the tub.
3) And keep watch for standing water near your home.

Every year, we are reminded just how special this community is during the annual Weigand Construction Duck Race to Benefit Iris Family Support Center.

What makes the Duck Race so impactful is not just the event itself, but the people behind it. From my Iris team, to Weigand Construction and the Weigand family, Don R. Fruchey Inc., our local police and fire departments, volunteers, sponsors, and supporters, so many people come together with a shared commitment to strengthening families and creating brighter futures for children in our community.

Healthy families create healthy communities, and we are grateful to be part of a community so committed to investing in both. Each Duck Race Ticket sold goes to support services for children and families.
