CCIL marches in Billiken Parade


“Go CCIL!” was one of many encouraging shouts we heard from the crowd while marching by with our CCIL banner and signs during the 79th Annual Bud Billiken Parade. This well-known parade has touched more than 50 million children and their families throughout the years.

Our group of parade walkers was applauded and well received. I’ve always been proud to work at CCIL and support this mission, but even more so after hearing, “CCIL – you give people second chances” and “There goes CCIL, there goes my family” as we walked along the parade route.

Thanks to everyone who supported CCIL at the parade or in spirit…we appreciate it!

Please know we’re all making a positive difference and are touching lives…even when we least expect it. Contributed by Jenny Brandhorst
