Parade Grand Marshal
Paul "P.T." Hohag
This year's Grand Marshal is Paul "P.T." Hohag. "P.T." is a former BOB FM country radio station employee. He is a podcast host, a DJ, a reverend, a voice over talent, an emcee and founder of The Livin Foundation. Paul Thomas’s father died by suicide in 2013. When that happened, there were many unanswered questions and he struggled with many different emotions. But then he came to a realization. “There’s nothing you can do that will change the past,” he said. “But you can affect the future in a positive way.” Depression and suicide are real issues in our society & until the stigma is broken we will not make real progress towards saving lives--The LIVIN Foundation is a positive movement to be appreciative of what you have and a voice to encourage others that it is ALWAYS a great day to be alive! Get Busy #LIVIN! We are honored to have Paul Thomas as our 2017 Delano 4th of July Parade Grand Marshal for his dedication to this noble cause. Go to livinfoundation.com for more information.
