With the assistance of sponsors, attendees, landowners, hunters and volunteers, the 23rd Annual Duck Classic raised more than $885,000 Dec. 11 at First National Bank Arena. A fundraising event for NEA Baptist Charitable Foundation, the banquet kicked off the two-day event that precedes the guided duck hunt. Guests enjoyed dinner, raffles and silent and live auctions, with teams participating in the competitive duck hunt the following day. The top three teams in the 2025 Duck Classic hunt were UA Local 669, first place, Right Fiber by Ritter, second place, and Arvest Bank, third place.
