From the beginning, I Love a Parade has believed in paying our artists. Not only does it reflect a cultural validation, it offers the women some stability as they participate in our program. We are able to pay them $10.00 an hour. In order for us to accomplish this goal we have to supplement the sale of our unique products through private and public donations. You can help us continue to pay our artists a living wage by joining our "Bandwagon of Friends" donors or "Beyond the Faces Society" for multiple year giving.
