Get ready for a spectacular holiday tradition as 40-50 festively decorated tow trucks make their way around Nationwide Children's Hospital, spreading holiday cheer to patients, families, and staff. The parade will circle the hospital campus three times, creating a memorable experience for children watching from patient rooms and gathering spaces.
Following the parade, several trucks will pull onto Children's Drive and arrive at the hospital's main entrance for a special check presentation. Representatives from the Associated Professional Towers of Ohio (APTO), including APTO President Ron Myers of Pine Tree Towing, will present their annual donation to Nationwide Children's. Over the past two years, APTO and its members have contributed more than $12,000 in support of the hospital's mission.
Adding to the excitement, a Nationwide Children's Patient Champion will serve as the parade's Official Marshal, leading this heartwarming display of community support and holiday spirit. This special event celebrates the generosity of Ohio's towing community and the impact they make for the children and families we serve.
