Symbolism of Our Float:

Thank you all for supporting a highly successful inaugural participation in the Rose Parade. We won the highly prestigious Isabella Coleman Award!

Hummingbird: There is a hummingbird at the front pulling the float. In native cultures, humming birds are seen as spiritual guides who bring healing to the suffering.

Butterflies: There are two butterflies accompanying the hummingbird. Butterflies symbolize transformation and rebirth.

Tree: The tree represents knowledge and life — symbolizing the continued need for education and kidney health awareness. The canopy also resembles a kidney with life flowing through the trunk.

Green ribbon: A symbol of KIDNEY HEALTH — a call back to the Green Ribbon Campaign started at UCLA Health in 2016 to raise awareness for kidney health.

Sunflowers: There are two Sunflowers at the back of the float and they symbolize Optimism, Strength and Resilience.

Roses:  Red roses symbolize kidney donors and Green roses symbolize kidney recipients.
We invite you to participate in our 2025 Tournament of Roses Parade.
