ParadeRest Contributions in 2023

In addition to the support activities that ParadeRest conducts itself (e.g. oral histories and ticket distributions), we annually award funds to competitively selected organizations in the local region that offer especially meaningful and significant resources to veterans.

  • Living Free Together

    …shares real strategies with real military families for restoring and strengthening relationships.

  • Wintergreen Adaptive Sports

    …provides instruction in outdoor sports for wounded warriors with all types of disabilities.

  • Blue Star Families

    …empowers military families to thrive by connecting them with their civilian neighbors - both people and organizations - to create strong communities of support.

  • SEAS the Day

    …a veterans outdoors day that brings people together for a day of family fun! Hosted by the West Point Society of Monticello.

  • Our Community Salutes

    …recognizes and honors high school enlistees and their commitment to military service and provides parents/guardians of enlistees with community support as their son or daughter transitions into military service.
