"This Parade brings thousands of people together in communities across Canada - not just for the fun and excitement of the day, but to help grant wishes to some extremely special children who live in many of these same communities," says Glen Oliver, Canadian Country Manager for XanGo Juice, the creator of a premium mangosteen beverage. "XanGo is very proud to be the title sponsor of the Wishmaker Parade, and looks forward to the contribution that our many Canadian distributors will make to help wishes come true!"
Fittingly announced in Halifax, the birthplace of the Wishmaker Parade more than 20 years ago, the event will take place in more than 100 communities across Canada over the October 18 and 19, 2008 weekend. The XanGo Wishmaker Parade has become a premier national fundraising event for The Children's Wish Foundation of Canada, raising $1.3 million in 2007.
