Event Description:
Kiwanis Club of San Ramon Valley (Kiwanis SRV) will be celebrating its 50th year as organizer and host of the historic Kiwanis Danville 4th of July Parade, in partnership with the Town of Danville. The long-standing and hugely popular event, which is Kiwanis SRV’s signature fundraiser, annually draws more than 125 parade entries and more than 40,000 spectators from local neighborhoods and regional communities.
To recognize the 50th anniversary of the Kiwanis Danville 4th of July Parade, this year’s theme is Celebrating 50 years of Community Service, and the Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano, which is also celebrating 50 years of community service, has been named the 2025 Parade Grand Marshal.
“Sponsoring the parade is a great way to get in front of more than 40,000 pairs of eyes—in front of people who shop, dine, play, and support deserving causes in Danville and the San Ramon Valley,” said Kiwanis member David Stegman. “Sponsors get a good deal of positive publicity and visibility, while helping a lot of local nonprofits that do an extraordinary amount of good for our community."
Funds raised through parade sponsorships go toward the Kiwanis SRV Grants Program, which provides small grants to local nonprofits, oftentimes funding projects that would otherwise go unrealized. Since the 1990s, Kiwanis has awarded more than $1M in grants through the nonprofit San Ramon Valley Kiwanis Foundation.
Parade sponsors are showcased in promotional banners posted in town and published in advertisements weeks before the parade, as well as in parade signage, banners, and messaging during and after the parade. Sponsors are also invited to participate in the parade with a float or vehicle promoting their business or organization. Because sponsorships are received through the 501(c)(3) San Ramon Valley Kiwanis Foundation, they can be deducted as charitable contributions to the extent permitted by law.
Sponsor applications will be accepted through Monday, June 2. For sponsor information and application, visit SRVKiwanis.org/parade or contact John Lineweaver, fundraising@SRVKiwanis.org.
