Special thanks to our 2024 Presenting Sponsor!

Grateful for the Support last year from our local NFL Team, multi–Super Bowl Winners and past NFC Champions—the SF 49ers! It’s been 10-years at Levi Stadium. Congratulations on launching their 49ers Cares Program.

Our hometown Parade has celebrated its Champions, community and front-line heroes since WWII. The 49er Float showcased 49er former Kicker Joe Nedney, the Gold Rush Cheerleaders, Sourdough Sam, and as guests, the Flag Football Team from Kathleen MacDonald School!

All are invited to celebrate our Champions from little league, State, National to NFL, and our amazing Community and Front-line Heroes! Keeping our legacy and traditions alive since 1945!
