Sponsorship Opportunities

Last year’s wonderful, family event drew hundreds of people every day, and more than 3,000 during its two-week run. The Festival’s success was due to the wonderful support of people like you, who donated trees, funds, gift certificates, and sponsored a specific activity. The Festival is a great opportunity for the donors to show off their sense of style and fun, and in some cases their merchandise. Many of the businesses that donated a tree have reported that it brought in new customers looking for that holiday gift they didn’t get to take home from the raffle!

This year’s event runs from November 29 through December 15, and there are several ways you can contribute:

• You can donate a tree, personally designed and decorated to express your chosen theme
• You can sponsor a tree, through a monetary contribution that we will use to decorate a tree in your name with your chosen theme
• You can donate a gift certificate for our special Giving Tree
• You could sponsor one of the Festival of Trees activities, such as Santa or the popular Horse-Drawn Hay-rides, Christmas PJ Story time, Kids Holiday Craft days, or one of our themed workshops offered during the show
