71th Annual  Halloween Parade

This year's theme is Parade Theme Witches and Worlocks

My name is Louie Barretto, and I am the President of the Woburn Host Lions Club. Since I joined the club in 2009 I have worked with and formed great friendships with a group of men who are selfless in their commitment to the Lions causes; i.e., working tirelessly for the blind and dedicating ourselves to numerous humanitarian services in our community as we strive to improve the lives of others who are less fortunate than ourselves. I am proud to be associated with an organization dedicated to giving back to people in our community and across the globe. For the past 17 years it has been incredibly inspiring to see the impact of the money we've raised for our charity.

The Woburn Host Lions Club is a strictly volunteer organization, and we are looking to you to help us with our biggest fundraising efforts. On October 26th, The Woburn Host Lions will present the 71st Annual Halloween Parade, a tradition steeped in history for residents of Woburn and the surrounding communities. Our Halloween Parade, seen by tens of thousands of viewers who gather along Woburn's Main Street from Route 128 to the Winchester line, has become one of the largest parades in Massachusetts.

By becoming one of our sponsors, your donation allows us to cover the cost of the parade and our Monster Dash Road Race, which is a costume fun run held on October 19th . Through these events we can raise the funds we need to support Massachusetts Lions Eye Research as well as enabling us to provide services to charitable organizations including NuPath, Carroll Center for the Blind, Association for Blind Citizens, VNA Hospice Care, the Woburn Boys and Girls Club, National Beep Baseball Association and numerous others.

Sincerely,

Louie Barretto , President

Frank DiMauro, Monster Dash Committee Chairman

We are grateful for your support.  Please consider a personal donation.
