In featuring key life moments including birth, graduation, marriage, and retirement, the float promises to powerfully display to the 3.5 million spectators lining the Manhattan Parade route and the 50 million viewers across the United States what it means to “Be Good at Life.”
“As we prepare to celebrate our first 175 years in 2020, we are tremendously thankful for the generations of families and businesses who place their trust in New York Life,” said Kevin Heine, Head of Corporate Communications at New York Life. “We could imagine no better way to celebrate our thanks, rich history, and ongoing commitment to communities across the country than by participating in the historic Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.”
