SPONSORSHIP INFO

The Carolinas’ Thanksgiving Day Parade has been a regional tradition since 1947. This important community event has been able to continue only through the continued, loyal support of our generous sponsors.

There are many levels and types of sponsorships – all are important to the production of the parade and the scholarship programs offered by the parade’s parent organization, the Carolinas’ Carrousel, Inc. If you would like to consider becoming a sponsor, please review our Sponsorship Package. We hope you'll join us in this important and time-honored event.

Here are some of the ways you can help:

Parade Floats
Showcase your company or organization on a professionally-built float. There are many sponsorship levels to fit your budget. The parade is viewed by approximately half a million people in the area – a valuable audience for your marketing message.

In-Kind Sponsorships
Do you have a product or service that would support the efforts of the Carolinas’ Thanksgiving Day Parade and/or the Carolinas’ Carrousel Scholarship Program and its Carrousel Queen Pageant? We need printing/copy services, signage, golf carts, two-way radios, audio-video support, catering, and many other products or services at the parade and pageant and throughout the months leading up to the events in November. Your generous support will be acknowledged in all of our printed materials and during the televised broadcast of the parade.

Donations to Carolinas’ Carrousel
Non-restricted contributions will always be the lifeblood of a non-profit charitable organization. As an individual and/or company interested in the quality of life in our community, you can join in helping ensure the continued success of the Carolinas’ Carrousel, Inc. and its activities, including the Carolinas’ Thanksgiving Day Parade by making a tax-deductible donation.

Carolinas' Carrousel has tax-exempt charitable status under Section 501 (c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Donors may therefore take a deduction as a charitable contribution as provided in Section 170 of the IRS Code.
