Happy Monday

Hi everyone, we would like to thank those that have donated to our cause already for their generosity during this time of year. We know money gets tight around the holidays and we appreciate your donation so much!

We just wanted to update you on how our tree did this year. Each year Festival of Trees has a private opening night event in which people can go and bid on a tree. The silent auction is when most trees are sold and we were lucky enough to sell our tree quickly. The cost to create the tree and setting this year was about $400 which doesn't seem like a very big donation when talking about helping kids with medical bills. But, our tree sold for, drumroll please....................$1500!

We were so excited that we could help earn this much money and help a family in need. So as you can see your donation could double, triple, or even quadruple in value. This is a small way to give a lot. Here are some pictures of the tree this year. Don't forget you can donate through paypal or we can accept cash or check by mail or personal delivery. Thanks so much!

Our Project



We just finished our tree for this year and realized we are not able to provide all of the funds needed to complete a tree next year. We were so sad knowing we wouldn't be a part of Festival of Trees next year. 
To help us continue the tradition and to give back to the community please help by donating anything you possibly can to make our tree next year a reality. If you feel you can donate click the donate button within this post or in our sidebar to make a secure payment through paypal. If you are able to donate $10 or more we will put your name on an ornament and make it part of our special tree next year.
Our goal is to raise $300 by Christmas day so we can get the decorations for next years tree on clearance.
When we can purchase our decorations, tree, and ornaments a year in advance we have plenty of time to develop our design and create whatever we need to complete our tree.
We are already contemplating new ideas for the next tree and would love to make our dreams come true. 
Thank you for all your help and may this holiday season be filled with peace and love.
