Dear "Trees for Hope" Believers in Hope,
We are overflowing with gratitude for each and every one of you who joined us in supporting our “Trees for Hope” event. Your enthusiasm and Christmas spirit have truly set the tone for this beautiful season, and we couldn’t have done it without you! A heartfelt THANK YOU goes out to our incredible community of tree decorators, our generous sponsors (Shop Small with Sam, Petal and Crumb, Kathy Hewitt, Lisa Carloni, and Skyworks Productions), our host St. Gabriel the Archangel Parish, and all the friends and families who graced us with their presence at the event. We also extend our warm congratulations to our raffle winners who now have stunning trees to brighten their homes!
Thanks to your unwavering support, we are thrilled to announce that we raised an impressive $3000! This vital funding will go directly to DetecTogether and the Alzheimer’s Association, helping them continue their important work in education and research, and bringing hope to those affected by these challenging illnesses. Your contributions are making a real difference in our community, and we are proud to be part of this collective effort.
The success of “Trees for Hope” is a testament to the power of community and collaboration. It’s your participation, your donations, and your enthusiasm that have transformed this annual fundraising event into something truly special. We invite you to continue this journey with us, as we look forward to next December where we hope to showcase over 50 beautifully decorated trees! Together, let’s make next year’s event even more spectacular and impactful.
Save the dates of Saturday, December 6 and Sunday, December 7 for the 2025 Trees for Hope Festival. We hope you will join us for this festive event and in building a vibrant community filled with love, support, and the joy of the holiday season. Thank you for being a part of our “Trees for Hope” family!
We'll be posting photos soon of this year's beautiful trees, so stay tuned!
Believing in Hope,
Penny Bentley and the Trees for Hope Committee
