 After Duffy resigned in as president of the parade, she continued as president-emeritus, where she shouldered the bulk of the work in organizing the event for several more years.Surplus earnings from the parade over the years were donated to one of Duffy's favorite causes, Project Children, an organization that brings children from Northern Ireland to Central New York for six weeks.The stretch of Salina Boulevard traversed by the annual St Patrick's Day parade has been named "Nancy Duffy Lane" in her honor.
