The Veterans Day Parade Group is a 501(c)(3) all volunteer organization producing the parade with 6 volunteers on a budget of about $4,000.00. Sixty percent of our budget is derived from the parade registration fee.

We exempt the Hillsborough Country School System units and all volunteer organizations dedicated to assisting Veterans both overseas and at home. Other than that, we request support from the Parade Units. When you consider there are approximately 25,000 Parade goers along the Parade Route, it is a very cheap way to show your Support for Our Troops and advertise your organization.
