Scott Vinson and Chuck Walker our son’s youth football coach’s are organizing the Williamsburg Hornets ( 2009 Super bowl Champions) entry in the Christmas Parade . We are hoping to have a record 150+ players and cheerleaders marching this year.
As part of the Parade Theme this year, The Williamsburg Hornets want to make an impact in the local community.
Our "creative concept" is that Hornets Santa’s Helpers are carrying gifts to place beneath our Green & Gold Christmas Tree in Christmas Town. If you want to bring a gift to donate to the James City County Child Protective Services Division we welcome any help you can offer . (unwrapped Christmas Gift ($10 or so in value) simply hand it to the Hornets in the decorated truck.
Then, at the end of the Parade, all the gifts will be collected and donated to the James City County Child Protective Services Division for distribution to children who may be physically or emotionally abused or neglected in the Williamsburg area this Christmas season.
