Trucker's Parade Against Cancer

To date, TPAC has raised over $2 million for cancer research, and we’re not stopping until there’s a cure.

Join us for our next parade on October 10, 2026!

Who are we?

At Trucker's Parade Against Cancer, we unite the power of the trucking community to shine a bright light on cancer awareness and fundraising. This isn't just an event; it's a movement fueled by determined hearts and roaring engines. Every truck on the road echoes a story — stories of survival, remembrance, and relentless hope.

The idea of the Trucker's Parade Against Cancer (TPAC) was brought to life in the fall of 2000 and has been steadily growing ever since. This is not your typical small town Christmas parade. In this parade, over 200 trucks each carry at least one banner in memory or in honor of a loved one that have fought the battle against cancer. Hundreds of people line the streets to show their support and cheer as the parade travels through four towns within Charlotte County, VA.

This group of truckers, sponsors, TPAC team members, and volunteers are a one-of-a-kind group of people. They are determined to support survivors who have overcome this disease or who are currently battling, and they ensure and that the memory of the loved ones lost to cancer will not be forgotten.

To date, TPAC has raised over $2 million for cancer research, and we’re not stopping until there’s a cure. Join us for our next parade in October of 2026!
