Volunteers Needed for Rochester St. Patrick's Day Parade
Saturday, March 14, 2026, from 11 am to 3 pm. Meet at the  Perkins Mansion, 494 East Avenue, Rochester 14607.

Message from the St. Patrick's Day Volunteer Committee:
We are reaching out on behalf of the Rochester St. Patrick's Day Parade. looking for volunteers to march as sponsor banner carriers on the Parade's 1.1 mile walking route.  A lot of people say it's more fun walking and waving to the crowds than it is watching the parade from the sidewalks.

The Rochester St. Patricks is a non-profit organization with an entirely volunteer board and committees that puts on the annual event. It is the largest single day event in the city of Rochester and relies on sponsors and volunteers to keep it going.  For those that need community service hours the event will count as 4 hours March 14 11am-3pm.  $20 donation will be made per volunteer if you are volunteering on behalf of a non-profit.

Be sure to dress for the weather.  Meet-up will be 11am at the Perkin's Mansion at 494 East Ave, Rochester, NY 14607.  Breakfast and coffee will be provided.

Sign-up at our website:  https://rochesterparade.com/Join-Us/Volunteers

Any questions feel free to respond to this email or call Mike 585-748-1629

Please spread the word!

Thank you and hope you decide to join us.
