‘We are excited to help find a way for the event to take place during these tough times’ said Madeira Beach City Manager Bob Daniels, ‘Our Veterans mean a lot to our community of Madeira Beach and it’s important that we are able to show them the respect they have earned and the support they deserve’.
The Veteran’s Boat Parade was founded in 1996 by a collective of residents in Madeira Beach and Treasure Island. Currently the Boat Parade is organized by Madeira Beach Residents Pam Rasmussen and Capt. Rodger Gerstung, along with numerous volunteers and support provided by community sponsors. Throughout the year, their organizing members attend events raising awareness and funds to put on the Parade as well as raise funds to help support local veteran organizations.
