Lions Rose Parade Pageant

Driving To Support The Rose Parade


For the New Year's celebration, our new 12-passenger van was called into service to support Lions in the Tournament of Roses Parade project .


Friends in Sight provided airport and hotel shuttle transportation for out-of-town travelers.

The idea was spearheaded by the Friends in Sight Board President and Lions Float Ambassador Norm MacKenzie, using our new 12-passenger van acquired through our "Keep the Drive Alive" campaign. We were honored to be of service and contribute to the success of the event. Thank you to all who donated to help us purchase our new vans. We couldn't have done it without you!

Checking In with Two Lions Float Ambassadors

We'd like to thank both Norm MacKenzie and Alan Winkelstein, OD for their continued support and hard work for this year's parade. The commitment of both of these Friends in Sight team members and float ambassadors is greatly appreciated.
