While the Parade is driven by a dedicated corps of local volunteers, it is only made possible through the generous support of its corporate sponsors. "Our corporate sponsors are an integral part of the Oakville Santa Claus Parade. Sponsorship funds are used to hire marching bands and rent costumes for the many costumed characters in the Parade, publicize the event, maintain Santa's float, recognize winning entries and much more," said Pam Damoff, Chair, Oakville Santa Claus Parade. As a community-minded Oakville company, it has been an easy decision for us to be a Gold Sponsor of the Oakville Santa Claus Parade each year. The Parade is an event we are proud to be associated with, said Mike Dennis, President Moen Canada. We're pleased to be able to participate again in 2010 and look forward to our continued support for the Parade for many years to come. We encour- age other companies to join us in this wonderful Oakville Christmas tradition. The Oakville Santa Claus Parade Committee wishes to thank all of this years generous sponsors for their ongoing financial support for the Parade. In addition to the many volunteers who put together the float and walking entries, over 100 volunteers come out on Parade Day to entertain and ensure the Parade runs smoothly. The generous support of Oakville's public and private sectors and the work of volunteers ensures the success of the Oakville Santa Claus Parade.
