Welcome back to the season of joy, laughter, peace, and goodwill to all as we celebrate being together again at the Festival of Trees!
Rediscover the magic of Christmas at this year's Festival of Trees. This enchanted Christmas wonderland marks the start of the holiday season while letting you become part of something bigger, supporting the enhancement of healthcare, right here at home. One of the best ways you can support patients on their healthcare journey is by taking part in the wonderful fundraising opportunities offered in this sponsorship guide.
Seasonal activities and festival fun are for everyone! From Santa's Workshop and the Teddy Bear Hospital to rocking parties and exciting Galas, the Festival of Trees sparks love and hope and wonder for all ages.
There are many ways to be involved:
Sponsor Festival of Trees
Submit a Decorated Tree for Auction
Donate Goods for Auction and Services to support Event Logistics
Volunteer
Please take the time to review our sponsorship guide and the tree submission guide and see where your sponsorship aligns to significant recognition and event tickets. There is no time like the present to share a Christmas gift to our community.
Funds generated by the 2022 Festival of Trees will be directed to our unrestricted Greatest Needs Fund and allocated by the Board of Directors to grant and operational priorities. For the 2022 Festival of Trees we hope to raise $750,000 at an estimated cost of $300,000.
