Caring for seniors is a full-time commitment, and for many organizations, fundraising can feel like an added challenge. The Grand Parade offers a way to bring people together, raise essential funds, and strengthen connections within the community—all while making a meaningful impact.

For Shalom Manor & Gardens, participating in The Grand Parade wasn’t just about financial support. It became a rallying point, drawing in people who shared a deep love for their home and its residents. Families, staff, and supporters all came together to walk, fundraise, and celebrate the spirit of care that defines their community. The results? More than they could have imagined.

The Grand Parade is more than just a walk—it’s a way to build community, support local charities, and make a real difference in the lives of seniors. Looking for a way to help? The next step is yours.
