Children's Healthcare of Atlanta Parade
Children's Healthcare of Atlanta Parade For the sixth year in a row, team members from Advocate Consulting participated in the 31st annual Children's Healthcare of Atlanta parade on Saturday, December 1, 2012.

This event drew a crowd of over 300,000 spectators along Peachtree Street in downtown Atlanta.  Our employees escorted a giant balloon representing the famous cartoon character Chilly Willy along the parade route with hundreds of marchers, spectacular floats and marching bands. The event was a celebration of Christmas and family - all for a great cause - to support the children in the care of Children's Healthcare and the staff who care for them every day.
