PARADE SPONSORSHIP
GREETINGS:
The 44th Annual Mahoning Valley St. Patrick's Day Parade will be
held on Sunday,
March 13, 2022.
The Parade will step off at 1:00 PM and proceed north on Market Street from McClurg Road
to Southwoods Avenue. Boardman has proven to be an excellent venue
for the Valley’s Biggest Parade. We are inviting you to join the Parade
and 25,000 to 30,000 of the Valley’s finest spectators to celebrate this family
tradition.
The theme of the Parade this year is “Irish Heritage…Rooted Deep in the Valley.” The Grand Marshal for this year’s parade is Bill Lawson, the
Ockerman Award recipient is Kurt
Hilderbrand and our Lord
Mayor of Kilkenny is Judge Scott Hunter.
Leading the Parade will be our Shamrock
Balloon, the Boardman Spartan High School Marching Band and the Boardman
Township Trustee’s.
The Edward J. Reese Family
Reviewing Stand will be near the
North end of the march and located at the intersection of Route 7 and Boardman
Blvd. Master of Ceremonies at the
Reviewing Stand is yours truly, Casey
Malone.
Like any public extravaganza, the budget grows each year
and now exceeds $15,000 annually. Bands, parade specialties, printing,
promotion and other costs make it necessary to ask for your help.
The Parade is made up of twelve divisions, with each division sponsored
by various local businesses.
Each division sponsorship includes:
·
A Banner with your company's name to lead your
division.
·
A trophy named in your honor.
·
A place in your division for your company to
participate in the Parade.
·
An invitation to the Pre-Parade
Breakfast.

Your own place on the reviewing stand.
·
A listing as a Division Leader in Newspaper Ads
and our website
·
A full-page ad in the Parade
Program (10,000 copies), free to spectators along
the Parade route. Camera ready copy appreciated.
Your Division Sponsorship brings you more than just civic
pride, it brings you the recognition you so greatly deserve as a
community leader for all you do for others. Division sponsorship is $1,000.00 made payable to the The Mahoning Valley St. Patrick's Day Parade, Inc., ATTN: Robb Kale,
