Philip DeBerard Family Foundation Wins Judges Choice Award at 2025 Stuart Christmas Parade with Viral "Grandma Got Run Over By a Brightline" Float
"We wanted to create something fun, memorable, and unmistakably Florida... The response has been overwhelming. Seeing our float make people laugh while also raising awareness around train safety has been incredibly rewarding," said Philip DeBerard
Presented during the annual Visiting Nurse Association of Florida 2025 Stuart Christmas Parade, the float featured a humorous, safety-themed holiday scene inspired by the classic Christmas song, reimagined with a modern Florida twist involving a Brightline train. The creative display earned loud cheers from spectators and top honors from parade judges.
The float has since gone viral across Florida, with photos widely shared by Florida Man on Instagram, as well as on popular Facebook pages including The Space Coast Rocket, Stuart Locals, and Florida Memes. The story also gained major regional media coverage when TCPalm published a feature on the float's impact and popularity.
"We wanted to create something fun, memorable, and unmistakably Florida," said Philip DeBerard. "The response has been overwhelming. Seeing our float make people laugh while also raising awareness around train safety has been incredibly rewarding."
The VNA Stuart Christmas Parade is one of the Treasure Coast's most beloved holiday traditions, drawing thousands of spectators each year while supporting vital community health programs.
