The fifth annual Parade for a Purpose took place on Saturday, Dec. 14, but this time in downtown 麻豆精选 instead of the Kettle Valley neighbourhood.

Pam Turgeon, a founder of the 麻豆精选's annual Parade With a Purpose, announced on Facebook that this year saw a total of $480,000 raised for the Bridge Youth Recovery House. 

"This incredible achievement wouldn鈥檛 have been possible without the tireless work of volunteers, the support of sponsors and donors, and the generosity of every person who showed up to give. You鈥檝e proven that when we come together, extraordinary things happen," Turgeon wrote. "We are beyond thankful to the Stober Foundation for the incredible donor match and to the Hall Family Foundation for bringing the recovery house to life. There are no words sufficient to describe their generosity."

For the first time the parade was brought to downtown 麻豆精选 and included over 40 floats.
