Elephant Parade

founded by father and son Marc and Mike Spits in 2006.

Whilst on holiday in Thailand, Marc met a baby elephant named Mosha, who had lost part of her leg after stepping on a landmine. Mosha inspired Marc and Mike to create Elephant Parade.

“WE WANTED TO HELP MOSHA & CREATE SOMETHING STRUCTURAL THAT WOULD BE PROFITABLE IN THE LONG RUN. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY IN WHICH WE CAN PROVIDE THE ELEPHANT WITH A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE.”

The first Elephant Parade exhibition was held in Rotterdam, The Netherlands in 2007. Friends of the Asian Elephant Hospital, Mosha’s home base in Lampang Thailand, was the first organization to receive contributions generated by Elephant Parade and structurally continues to receive funds for taking care of Mosha.
