The parades are scheduled to occur again on Dec. 10 at 6:30 p.m., with volunteers planning to meet at Real Life Church respectively and collect donations from driveways while caroling to Gracie Muehlberger’s favorite holiday songs, which are scheduled to be broadcast on KHTS Radio ad-free during the events, from their cars from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.
“On Dec. 11 and 12, 2019, we created an annual fundraiser to collect canned goods for those in need – doing what Gracie loved doing the most – Christmas caroling,” read a statement on the GracieStrong website.
