Do you love a parade? If so, you’re in luck! Employees, family members, and friends are needed to represent Morris Hospital & Healthcare Centers during the 2026 parade season.

In each parade, we will need volunteers to carry the Morris Hospital banner, pass out promotional items to parade goers, and simply to represent Morris Hospital & Healthcare Centers. Everyone who participates will receive a Morris Hospital & Healthcare Centers t-shirt!

Volunteers must be able to walk a distance of 1 to 2 miles, depending on the particular parade. Children can be pushed in a stroller or pulled in a wagon.

To volunteer, please fill out and submit the form below. If you have any questions, please contact Robert Alaimo, Marketing/Public Relations at 815-705-7007 or email Robert at [email protected].
