ATLANTA—For 16 years, Arrow Exterminators employees and their families have been entertaining spectators in downtown Atlanta by sponsoring and participating in the annual Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta (CHOA) Holiday Parade. This year, more than 100 team members braved the cold to walk in the parade and expertly maneuver two-story character balloons, the Three Blind Mice, down the 1-mile route.
The CHOA parade, the largest parade in the Southeast, kicks off the holiday season by raising money for pediatric hospitals including Scottish Rite, Egleston and Hughes-Spalding. The proceeds from this year’s event will exceed $100,000 and help fund programs and equipment to serve the patients and families of CHOA.
“The parade has become an annual holiday tradition for our employees, some of whose own lives have been touched by the valuable services provided by Children’s,” says Emily Thomas Kendrick, Arrow president and CEO. “We are so thankful for the opportunity to be affiliated with such a worthwhile event that not only provides the community with a memorable holiday experience, but also raises funds to support the healthcare needs of children in our community.”
