Message from Sheriff Wayne Ivey
BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – For over a decade now, we have been blessed to host a unique, one of a kind “Reverse Christmas Parade”, where citizens line the streets along a parade route to give new, unwrapped toys, to Law Enforcement Officers for those in need in our community for Christmas.
In 2015, the concept was created by our Community Services Team to help make sure that every child in Brevard County could have a Merry Christmas, and now, 11 years later, it has become a staple of our community and one of our favorite holiday traditions.
From businesses tailgating along the route with hot chocolate and snacks, to our great citizens standing by, ready with toys, this tradition is one of my favorites, as our various law enforcement agencies all partner together to make sure that every kid has an amazing Christmas morning.
So mark your calendars and come be a part of this incredible event on Wednesday, December 3rd, at any of our 9 parade route locations, and bring a new, unwrapped child’s Christmas present to give Saint and our Chiefs of Police, as we walk through your area to help make this event the great success that it is year after year.
The parade will of course lead by our incredible BCSO Motor Unit and for the first time, Saint will be watching over things so he can make sure every kid in our community has the most amazing Christmas ever.
We look forward to seeing everyone out at the parade and thank all of you for helping keep the holiday season special for everyone.
– Sheriff Wayne Ivey
