54th Santa Clara Parade of Champions
The Santa Clara Parade of Champions (SCPoC) has been a time-honored legacy in Santa Clara since 1945 when we welcomed home our WWII Heroes. Since then generations of Santa Clarans have never forgotten the memories and sense of community that the parade reinforced year after year. Our 501c3 NPO of grass roots volunteers are grateful to our Champions and Community Heroes for the generous support in bringing back the 50-year-old parade after a 24-year hiatus — we made history together!
Keeping our tradition alive since 1945! A Legacy of honoring our Community and Front line Heroes, and Champions every year…while supporting our charitable initiatives of Youth Scholarships, Veterans, and Families facing medical crisis.
Thank you to the growing list of 2024 Sponsors!
We are thankful to our Grantors, the City of Santa Clara & the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors, as well as the wonderful generosity of our Parade Sponsors.
