The City of Statesboro is seeking donations for the 52nd Annual Mayor's Christmas Motorcade, where municipal leaders head up the drive to bring holiday treats and supplies to patients at area mental health hospitals. The effort has brought smiles to patients at the hospitals for 50 years, and was founded by the Georgia Municipal Association (GMA) in cooperation with former governor Ernest Vandiver. Carrie Camden, executive assistant with the City of Statesboro's city manager's office, said cities across Georgia join together each year to take items to patients in the state's seven regional mental health and retardation hospitals.
