Christmas Parade- The Greatest Gift to the World

We debuted our NEW Christmas Parade float in the Rogers 2025 Christmas Parade on 12/5/2025! We'd like to thank the Sign Studio in Rogers, our NWA Respect Life team, and all of our volunteers who helped make this float happen.

Last year, we debuted our beautiful Christmas Parade float, The Greatest Gift to the World. We worked with The Sign Studio in Rogers, Robert Stroupe (Mary's husband and Sarah's father), and a wonderful group of volunteers to bring our idea to life! 

 

Using brilliant images we created, we told the story of Christ's conception to birth on all 4 sides of our great gift! We united the meaning of Christmas with our mission to celebrate the beauty and value of every human life, born and unborn. 

We are already rolling with this year's plans to make our parade float even better! Trial and error, as they say. We learned quickly that our float needs some modifications and tweaks to not only withstand the Arkansas winter environment and bumpy roads, but to travel to more parades in NWA. We are working with a sign company in California to enhance our images, making them more weather resistant and withstand the test of time. 

​

Our float was a HUGE hit last year! We heard incredible comments from the crowds and community. One that never got old was when little children yelled out, "Look, its baby Jesus!", pointing to the image of our Lord in Mary's womb. Even the littlest members of our community recognized our Lord's humanity pre-birth. 

We will be applying to participate in the Fayetteville, Rogers, and Bentonville parades this year. Please say a prayer that we are accepted in each parade! Ideally, our float will also participate in another tour for the Winter season. If you would like to help in some way, our current need is donations for float enhancements and treat bags.

To specifically donate to the parade float, click here and make a donation note "Christmas Parade Float".

Soon, we will be requesting volunteers to help put together treat bags or hand out treats at the parades. If you are interested in helping with treat bags or giving out treats with our float, please email director@nwarespectlife.org and let us know! 

Assuming everything goes as planned, we anticipate our Greatest Gift to go on tour for the 2027 Winter Season! Local businesses, organizations, and churches can request to host the Gift. If you are interested in hosting the Gift, please email director@NWARespectLife.org.
