Net proceeds from the Derby Run will go to local charities that benefit children. These include The Child Advocacy Center in Fayetteville, Cys World Foundation and the Justin Richard Lopes Memorial Scholarship. The Child Advocacy Center offers children a safe place that supports the prevention, investigation and prosecution of child abuse. Cys World Foundation was founded in 2010 to honor Cy Garber. Cys World Foundation seeks to promote a love of the outdoors to children. Two scholarships were created in memory of Justin Lopes and are awarded every year through the Cumberland Community Foundation to a graduating senior from Cumberland County High School.
