Rue & Ziffra Firm to Sponsor Float in Port Orange Christmas Parade and Serve as Drop-off for Toys for Tots

PORT ORANGE – In addition to marching bands, clowns and cheerleaders, this year’s Port Orange Christmas Parade from 2 to 4 p.m. Dec. 6 will feature a float sponsored by the law firm of Rue & Ziffra.

With the theme of “Christmas Around the World” the parade is sure to get the thousands of onlookers who wait patiently along Dunlawton Boulevard each year into the holiday spirit, according to Shane Snipes, the firm’s promotions/advertising director.

The Rue & Ziffra float will feature 10 employees who also helped build the entry. It will join more than 30 other floats, as well as members of community groups, churches, local clubs, schools and businesses who participate in the annual event.

The float, which will include a collection box for toys donated to Toys for Tots, will pass in front of Rue & Ziffra’s Port Orange office on Dunlawton, where other employees will be busy cooking and serving free hot dogs, hamburgers and other foods.
Toys for Tots collection boxes also are set up at the firm’s offices in Port Orange and Orange City, Snipes said.

Last year, the firm collected enough toys for the program to fill three full-size trucks, he said. This year, they hope to exceed that amount.
