Twentieth Annual Festival of Trees to benefit CHRISTUS Trinity Mother Frances

CHRISTUS Trinity Mother Frances invites the public to participate in the Twentieth Annual Festival of Trees fundraiser by donating a decorated Christmas tree that will be displayed in the hospital lobby at CHRISTUS Mother Frances Hospital – Tyler.

Interested participants should complete the attached forms and return to annette.garcia@christushealth.org by Nov. 18. Local businesses and individuals can donate a decorated artificial three-to-four-foot pre-lit Christmas tree. Each tree can have a theme, a name, and will include donor recognition.

Decorated trees should be dropped off between Nov. 18 – 22. Please contact volunteer services at annette.garcia@christushealth.org or (903) 606-4435 to coordinate a drop off time at CHRISTUS Mother Frances Hospital – Tyler, main entrance A, 800 E. Dawson St.

The purpose of the Festival of Trees is to raise critically needed funds for the hospital and to bring the joy and magic of the holiday season to CHRISTUS Mother Frances patients and families. While on display, the community can participate in an online silent auction for a chance to take home one of the beautifully decorated trees. Funds raised from the auction will support CHRISTUS Trinity Mother Frances Foundation projects, to include Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals (pediatrics) and women’s health services.

If you would like to support this event but are not able to decorate a tree, please complete the donation portion of the enclosed form so that we can acknowledge you on the auction website.
