Billings Rotary Memorial Day Parade

Saturday, May 24, 2025

Hello ,

This Saturday, May 24th, is the Rotary-sponsored Memorial Day Parade. Please march with our fellow members. It is a big deal for our club, city, and, in particular, for veterans who are suffering from PTSD. Montana has one of the highest rates of suicides from PTSD. These veterans not only need our help, they deserve it.

The following companies that go above and beyond in helping Veterans with PTSD have been selected to receive $1,000 each from the First Annual Billings Rotary Memorial Parade. Checks will be presented at the end of the parade.

    Veterans Navigation Network

    Adaptive Performance Center

    Hoodies for Heroes

    Dog-Tag Buddies

Some of the activities are:

    Hot dogs - free for the first 150 kids

    Face painting

    Baloon twisting

    Catering trucks

All Veterans, sponsors, and participants will receive a free ticket to the Billings Mustangs Baseball game later in the day.

Congressman Troy Downy and Mayor Bill Cole are the parade marshals.  Lt. Col. Joshua Print from the Space Force will be our special guest. He played hockey for the Billings Bulls and the US Air Force.

The instructions for attending and joining the parade follow. 

Invite your family and friends for a worthy cause and a fun time.
