Rose Parade Highlight

On New Year's Day, 37 million people tuned in to watch the annual Rose Parade. However, what they didn't see were the months of dedication and preparation that the 900+ "White Suiters," or volunteers, of the Tournament of Roses gave in producing the beloved New Year's Tradition.

Of the team of devoted volunteers was Greg Custer, local Newport Beach resident and Executive Vice President at Whittier Trust in Newport Beach. Custer put on his first White Suit over 21 years ago, and has served on the Board of Directors for the Tournament of Rose Parade and Rose Bowl Game since 1998. As a White Suiter, he has ensured the success of the Rose Parade through his time on 10 operating committees including University Entertainment, Sports Media, Post Parade and TV Radio. Most recently, Custer served as Chair of the Float Construction Committee.
