In 1996 a small group of patriots from American Legion Post 273 in Madeira Beach started a small boat parade on the Saturday closest to Veterans Day. Boat captains decorated their boats with military-related and patriotic-themed decorations – and prizes were given for those voted as “best.”
What started out years ago as a unique way to utilize our local canals and waterways to honor our Veterans has turned into a prominent fundraiser that now assists our local veteran community
28 Years later, that parade has turned into a year-long celebration that includes participation in – and sponsorship of – numerous events — and the parade itself has grown to the point that the residents of Madeira Beach, Redington Beach & North Redington Beach, along with folks from neighboring towns, flock to the waterways on parade day to honor and cheer on the boats as they pass by!
All the events are designed with the same goal of raising money to help veterans. It’s our way of saying “THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE”
Proceeds from our many annual fundraisers go directly to local Veteran charities and help groups.
All these efforts are made possible by a group of dedicated and tireless volunteers who organize and run these events.
The fundraising efforts are further aided by a wonderful group of business sponsors who want to show their appreciation to our veterans. With their help and financial support, we are able to provide assistance to those who served to protect the freedoms we all enjoy. Please give them your business to thank them for their support.
