BEDFORD – Registration for the 2022 Bedford Revitalization, Inc. Christmas Parade is now open and set to return on Saturday, December 3rd.
The theme is a general “Christmas” theme to allow parade entries to focus mostly on the Christmas light aspect of their parade entry. ALL ENTRIES MUST HAVE CHRISTMAS LIGHTS incorporated into their design, as this is an illuminated Christmas Parade. It is free to have an entry in the parade.
This year’s Grand Marshals will be the Winnefeld Family who started the Batcole Foundation in 2015 in honor of their son and brother, Cole.
The Batcole Foundation is a public 501(c)3 non-profit, that is committed to raising funds for research to develop novel, superior therapies for neuroblastoma and other pediatric cancers. When Cole was initially diagnosed, and throughout his treatment, he always loved all things superheroes, especially Batman. The Batcole symbol was drawn on a napkin by a family friend and quickly became Cole’s identity.
Together with their foundation board, specialized pediatric cancer treatment centers, and physicians, their goal is to identify clinical therapies which have the most promising clinical blueprints for success. The Batcole Foundation also assists Indiana families in treatment for kids’ cancer by providing gift cards, toys, and financial assistance to ease their burdens.
