Jerry Duck Memorial Scholarship Fund

The Jerry Duck Memorial Scholarship Fund is established in loving memory of Jerry Duck, who passed away on January 6, 2025. For over 25 years, Jerry played a pivotal role in supporting Hugh Copeland and The Hurrah Players, offering his unwavering dedication and support. Jerry not only managed the finances of Hurrah, but also devoted countless hours to ensuring that Hurrah provided enriching experiences for the families involved. From organizing cherished Thanksgiving NYC trips to capturing special moments behind the camera, Jerry’s contributions were felt in every corner of the organization.

His kindness, tireless spirit, and genuine commitment to Hurrah’s mission leave behind an enduring legacy. The Jerry Duck Memorial Scholarship Fund aims to honor Jerry’s profound impact by continuing to provide opportunities for the next generation of Hurrah Players. It is through this fund that Jerry’s legacy of support and generosity will live on, touching the lives of many in the Hurrah family.

Jerry will be dearly missed by all who knew him, and his absence will be felt deeply within the Hurrah community. We extend our heartfelt condolences to Hugh Copeland, their family, and friends as they navigate this difficult time. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers. Your support, kind words, and shared memories bring comfort and solace to those who are mourning the loss of this extraordinary individual.

Grateful Hurrah Players Highlight

Hurrah gave me a purpose and helped me discover my passion. I had such a sense of fulfillment at a young age because of The Hurrah Players and Hugh Copeland. It set the track for my career and life.

Grant Gustin The Flash

Hugh was a mentor to me and was able to show me at a young age I was different and an instrument that could tell stories and move people and touch people's hearts.

Through kindness, acceptance and love, Hurrah became a place most of us call home and people we call family. I can never replace the collection of incredible memories I have or the lessons I have learned. I believe anyone who joins will inevitably begin to feel this way and become part of our family.
