SANTA CLARA PARADE OF CHAMPIONS

Santa Clara Parade of Champions was established in 1945 to welcome home our WWII Heroes. Today we celebrate not just our Veterans but our champions, community and front line heroes who serve their community day in and out. Our nonprofit 501c3 is volunteer run focused on bringing visibility to our charitable initiatives, raise funds and give back to our youth, seniors and families in medical crisis. For 55 years, we have served our community and helped to inspire the next generation of community leaders to do the same. They are how we keep our legacy alive since 1945.

We are the longest running, most diverse, inclusive, multigenerational event in the history of Santa Clara—located at the geographic center of Silicon Valley. Since 1945, the Funds raised go to support our operations year-round and fund our charitable initiatives. Our volunteers are the backbone of our community and our organization. We work with a variety of ages and abilities from High school to Seniors. That is the beauty of our community centric organization--we understand that at every age, we are able to give either time, talent and/or money and that collectively we can make our nonprofit goals possible. We are grateful for what you can donate. It's the Love of Community, and capacity to give, that inspires our team. It absolutely takes a Village.
