Veterans Day
Sponsorship Opportunities

Every year the San Diego Veterans Parade Committee raises funds to put on the San Diego County Veterans Day Parade.

The Veterans Day Parade committee has started Sponsorships of selected events and items. If you or your organization is interested in sponsoring any of the items below please send an email to Parade Executive Director, Joe Brunner.

The cost of putting on the 2009 Veterans Day Parade was $28,000.00.  The parade recognizes the contributions of all of our veterans, as such we hope the entire community participates and welcome all sponsors and donations from the private sector.

Note:   All members of the San Diego Veterans Parade Committee are volunteers, none are paid for their services with 99.9% of all funds going to directly support the Veterans Day parade.

The San Diego veterans community developed a vision for a larger and better parade. Last year we had an estimated 35,000 spectators. As with most things, the bigger and the better, the more expensive.

We would like to bring in a high profile grand marshal next year with a number of activities planned around the grand marshal, and recoup some of the expense of the grand marshals travel, lodging, food, and transportation.  This year we plan plan to obtain more equipment, banners, sashes and other gear giving the parade look more professional look and saving some expenses in the future.

Four classes of sponsorships along with selected sponsorships are available.

Please make checks payable to Veterans Museum & Memorial Center (VMMC) and notate on the memo line: ‘Veterans Week/Parade’
