Sutter Health is the Presenting Sponsor of the 56th Santa Clara Parade of Champions Festival & New Sports FAN Zone
We are proud to announce Sutter Health as the Presenting Sponsor of the 56th Santa Clara Parade of Champions Festival and the brand-new Sports FAN Zone, happening Saturday, October 4, 2025, 10 AM to 5 PM!
This year, Santa Clara will shine on the worldwide stage with both the Super Bowl and the FIFA World Cup at Levi’s Stadium — and the Parade of Champions is the official community kickoff to this once-in-a-lifetime sports year.
Since 1945, the Parade of Champions has been the longest-running and most inclusive legacy event in Santa Clara’s history — honoring our Veterans since WWII, champions, community, and frontline heroes across generations. What began as a hometown tradition has grown into a powerful celebration of diversity, unity, and pride that welcomes everyone.
Why Sutter Health?
Sutter Health’s partnership reflects more than sponsorship — it mirrors their community-first mission of health, wellness, and compassion. With a strong presence in Santa Clara and throughout the Bay Area, Sutter Health invests in programs that strengthen neighborhoods, families, and schools. Their dedication to accessible healthcare, prevention, sports medicine, and family wellness makes them a natural fit for this celebration of champions.
They are also committed to supporting athletics and teamwork, proudly serving as a sponsor of Bay FC, the Bay Area’s first professional women’s soccer team. Their investment in sports, equity, and community well-being ensures that the Festival and FAN Zone remain free, inclusive, and accessible for all.
What’s New This Year?
In addition to the Parade, this year’s expanded celebration will include:
🎉 Sports FAN Zone – interactive booths with Bay Area pro and youth teams, skill challenges, swag, and live entertainment.
🌍 Community Village – a showcase of local nonprofits, artisans, cultural groups, civic and community resources.
🍳 Breakfast of Champions: Meet the Grand Marshal – a fundraiser supporting our veterans, honoring service and sacrifice since WWII.
