Every boat in the parade helps support three local organizations making a difference in our community year-round.
Alameda County Food Bank
Fighting hunger in our own backyard. Every year, the Food Bank serves hundreds of thousands of neighbors across Alameda County. Your support of the parade helps put food on local tables.
Oakland Fire Department Random Acts of Kindness
Oakland firefighters going above and beyond to support vulnerable residents in their most difficult moments. Parade proceeds help them keep showing up for neighbors who need it most.
Alameda Fire Department Toy Program
Making sure every child in Alameda has something to unwrap on Christmas morning. The parade helps fill the toy drive so no child is left out.
