The Detroit America's Thanksgiving Day Parade route follows Woodward Avenue between Kirby and Grand Circus Park. With 18 years behind them in the Detroit parade, the Fred Hill Briefcase Drill Team craved a different look for the "Hip, Hip, Parade!" so they teamed up with White Castle and their popular 30-burger Crave Cases.

Leader Fred Hill and his team have been practicing several new chants for the parade. One possibility is:

Briefcase Drill Team we behave,
'less of course we get a crave,
Situation we must face,
Off we go for a "Crave Case,"
Sound off, 1-2, Sound off, 3-4, etc.

The cases carried by the Drill Team will be signed by the team and auctioned off for charity on eBay immediately after the parade. White Castle will donate proceeds from a portion of the auctioned Crave Cases to Turkeys 4 America, Inc.

The first fast food chain in America, White Castle has 392 locations in 11 states. The company's unique steam-grilled hamburger is the featured ingredient in their third recipe book, "By the Sackful: Recipes from 85 Years of White Castle Craving," now on sale via www.whitecastle.com or in select bookstores. Proceeds from the book go to Turkeys 4 America.
