West Michigan Whitecaps CEO
and Managing Partner Lew Chamberlin will serve as the grand
marshal of the 38th annual Independent Bank and Jaycees Santa
Parade in downtown Grand Rapids on Saturday, Nov. 18.
“The Whitecaps championship
season brought great joy to families from across our region,”
Santa Parade Chair Julie K. Smith said. “We're excited
that families who traditionally enjoy our parade also will
be able to show their appreciation for the Whitecaps excellent
season.”
The Whitecaps, the 2006 Midwest
League champions, completed their championship season with
an 8-4 win on Sept. 15 over the Kane County Cougars (Illinois).
Since the team began play in 1994, the ‘Caps have claimed
four Midwest League titles (1996, 1998, 2004 and 2006).
“It’s a
tremendous honor to serve as the Santa Parade’s grand
marshal,” Chamberlin said. “As an organization,
the Whitecaps strive to provide our fans with affordable,
family-friendly entertainment and the mission of the Santa
Parade is the same. It also provides us a great opportunity
to connect with our fans outside of the baseball season.”
