Sir Braveheart from Mascots for a Cure thanks everyone for coming and for donating money at the Mascots for A Cure parade at Christmas Village on December 1, 2018.

Christmas Village partnered with Mascots for a Cure, a national non-profit of sports and company mascots, in an effort to raise money to fight childhood cancer.

On Saturday, 15 mascots rode the Christmas Village Carousel at City Hall and then headed to the stage at LOVE Park's Christmas Village for a dance-off with the winner determined by the most donations (in the end everyone was declared a winner.)

Below is a photo gallery from the event. For more information about Mascots for a Cure, please go here
