Welcome
Now going on 22 years the Lawrence St. Patrick’s Day Parade Committee has successfully turned a one day holiday into an opportunity for everyone to celebrate our community the year-round. While the St. Patrick’s Day Parade entertains young and old, hard work along with the generosity of our community has provided more than $479,000.00 to local charities benefiting the young people of our area.
The money raised comes from hosting special fundraising events such as our annual benefit auction, 5K fun run, and T-shirt sales, as well as the important charitable contributions by individuals and businesses toward our cause. Additional special events include a Trivia Night, Dart Tourney, and Motorcycle Run.
The Lawrence St. Patrick’s Day Parade Committee is itself a 501 (c) 3 not-for-profit organization that attempts to demonstrate through fun, education, and hard work that we can each make a difference in our community and that community spirit and giving back is what this committee is about.
The St. Patrick’s Day Parade Committee has developed a partnership approach for funding the organizations it chooses to support. By doing so it raises awareness for the organizations it serves at the same time that it raises funds. We have also discovered this approach builds long lasting friendships between our organizations.
