What is it?
Encouraging, supporting and improving healthy living habits, among our members and throughout the community, are central to our purpose. Our work also focuses on youth development through a wide variety of programs such as child care, teen activities, day camps, swim lessons, organized sports, and parent-child adventures.
The Festival of Trees is a fundraising event geared directly to this purpose. A week filled with events for all ages wrapped around the warmth of the holiday season. Join us as we celebrate our community, our passion and the love of improving on our commitment to nurturing youth development, promoting healthy living, and fostering a sense of social responsibility.
