Fundraising for the Parade

The on-going success of the Dundas Cactus Festival Parade depends on the generosity of people and organizations who give tirelessly of their time to help organize and run the event and those who provide sponsorships and donations of money to provide the funding of the wonderful bands and entertainment, each year.

We are most grateful for every contribution and would like to thank those who participate and contribute through our fundraising efforts, throughout the year.

“Toonies for Tunes” was instituted as a collection of volunteered donations on Parade Day. These toonies go directly to cover the cost of bands for the parade.

Toonie for Tunes 2018 – Look for our bright yellow banners and buckets throughout the Parade. Canada Post & Dofasco Orange Team will join our volunteers. Please give generously to support all the great bands. Donations can be made in advance or following the Parade at 22 Alma St. Dundas.

Toys & Games were on Parade for the 43rd Dundas Cactus Parade. Although warm, the weather cooperated just long enough for the Parade to go through downtown Dundas. People from near and far, enthusiastic participants and a dedicated team of volunteers came together to make a fun Parade!

On behalf of the Dundas Cactus Parade Committee I extend our sincere gratitude to all participants, volunteers, marshals, judges, security, photographers, Community of Dundas / City of Hamilton work crews, the police, Dundas businesses and Councillor Vanderbeek.

Special thanks to Kelsey George, Kelsan Gehlert, Ruthlyn, Rita May & Duncan Graham, Gerri MacPhail, Charmaine Mitchell, Brian Punambolam, Nick Scholefield and Aaron Vanderwal for all their hard work to present this much-loved community event.

Thank you to Cruickshanks, Galers, Grisdales, WPE and Hamilton Conservation for their continued support as well as the Dofasco Orange Team, Canada Post, Chelsea Rolph and all the enthusiastic Columbia College students that carried the banners in the Parade.

Special thanks to John Borer for getting those beautiful Percheron horses here in unpredictable weather and welcome to the Hamilton Community Police Horse Team.

Thank you to the Team of Toonie Collectors including Canada Post and to everyone for their generous donations.  Your toonie donations help pay the great bands that join us each year in the Parade.

Thank you to all of our sponsors and donors, and to Craig Campbell for their generous and continued support.

See you in 2019 for the 44th anniversary of this event. We welcome new volunteers to grow with us and have fun with us. Call Donna at 905 628-0838.

Donna Graham
