Brampton Celebrity Clowns - 2011 BBOT Santa Claus Parade

Oh! Look who’s leading the parade?

Kids and clowns – What better way to create magic and priceless smiles and laughter for the tens of thousands of children that will line the parade route on Saturday November 19th!

The Kiwanis Club of Brampton is pleased to announce the Brampton Celebrity Clowns will be “leading” the Brampton Board of Trade Santa Claus parade, entertaining children and adults along the parade route and raising money for a good cause. Kiwanis is about kids.

And the Kiwanis Club of Brampton is entering its 54rd year of community service in support of children and their families in Brampton. Again this year, part of the proceeds from the Brampton Celebrity Clown fundraiser will help to fund Big Brothers and Big Sisters programs… …Along with National Service Dogs who specialize in breeding, training and placing Labrador and Golden Retrievers with local children who have autism. Service Dogs have been shown to improve an autistic child’s communication skills and behavior and the family’s lifestyle. You will see several of these service dogs walking with the Clowns in the parade.

Special thanks go to these Brampton Celebrity Clowns, who are business leaders and community-minded citizens who make a generous donation (tax deductable) to Kiwanis in return for an opportunity to become a clown for a day and participate in this festive parade.

The Kiwanis Club of Brampton invites you to become a Brampton Celebrity Clown in the annual BBOT Santa Claus parade.

Come and enjoy an afternoon of engaging fun and fellowship with your fellow Celebrity Clowns. Simply, we guarantee you a magical experience you will not soon forget! The cost is $600 and a charitable receipt will be issued for the full amount.
