Lori Hawe said the organization, which she now fundraises for, stepped in when her son died from a fentanyl overdose.
“It’s what I can do to give back to them. Everything they do for us is with that money and so it means a lot to me,” Hawe told Channel 9.
Over the past 19 years, the Hope Floats Duck Race has raised more than two and a half million dollars.
