(From Freeman Health System)

Freeman Health System and city officials announced the theme of the 51st Annual Joplin Christmas Parade – Cruisin’ to Christmas at a joint press conference today.

“Freeman Health System has managed the parade since 2014,” said Paula F. Baker, Freeman President and Chief Executive Officer. “We’re honored the City of Joplin entrusts us with this endeavor. It takes hundreds of volunteer hours and many dedicated hearts to orchestrate a celebration of this magnitude — we embrace this challenge because it’s our way of giving back to the community that has supported us for more than 96 years.”








This year marks the return to a traditional parade down Joplin’s Main Street at 6:00 pm on Tuesday, December 7. The parade route starts at 15th and Main Street and ends at 3rd Street. Freeman will coordinate band and float entries. Businesses, charities, schools and community groups are encouraged to participate.

“I would like to express gratitude to our city leaders for choosing us as their partners again for the annual Christmas Parade,” said Ryan Melton, Freeman Interim Executive Director of Development. “We are excited that our community will get to experience this great event together and I’m most excited that it will benefit the medical needs of kids in our community through Freeman and Children’s Miracle Network.”

Funds generated by the 2021 Joplin Christmas Parade will go to Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals®, which provides assistance to children from birth to 21 years of age in a 14-county area in Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma. All money raised stays local, helping children with medical needs and their families. Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals helps furnish and maintain Freeman Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, provides funding for local community organizations’ pediatric needs and provides pediatric emergency equipment for area agencies.

Freeman is seeking entries for the big event. Entry fees are $50 for-profit organizations and $15 non-profit organizations, while schools and bands are free. Spaces are limited, and the last day to register is November 28. For more information about placing an entry in the 2021 Joplin Christmas Parade, call Sally Currence, Freeman Development Office Special Events Coordinator, at 417.347.4624 or email joplinchristmasparade@freemanhealth.com.
