Festival of Trees is Big Brothers Big Sisters of Island County's annual gala fundraising event, and it's the glitziest event of the season! Come celebrate a formal event with cocktail hour and hors d'oeuvres, dinner and dessert, as well as a live and silent auction. 

Your donation(s) to Festival of Trees carves a path to a brighter future for children in our community.  We provide all services free of charge, and to continue our mission we need your help and the support of businesses like yours. The average cost to support an entire year of relationship-building, impactful mentoring and professional oversight of a Big and Little is roughly $1,500. Many, if not most, of our children are from low-income, single or grand- parent homes. They may have challenges, but they do not lack hope or potential.

Festival of Trees will be held at the Oak Harbor Elks Lodge on Friday, December 6, 2019 followed by a Teddy Bear and Character Breakfast for children the morning of Saturday, December 7, 2019. This single event raises over half of our annual budget in order to continue igniting the potential of our local youth. We are expecting approximately 250 affluent business and community leaders and supporters for both events who are eager to bid on items auctioned during this fun and exciting event. Your gift(s) will be auctioned in order to raise funds for our program.
