The Palm Beach Holiday Boat Parade benefits the U.S. Marine Corps. Reserve Toys for Tots organization. Each year, the MIAPBC has been able to grow the amount of toys collected. Last year, we collected more than 18,000 toys for needy children in Palm Beach County. This event collects more toys for Toys for Tots than any other single event in the county!
