24th Annual Festival of Trees
Gala/Party for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Island CountyDec 02, 2022 from 6:00 PM to 11:00 PM
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Island County will soon celebrate the 24th Annual Festival of Trees, our signature gala and auction event!
This year we will once again host an in-person event, including a live auction of our highly sought after, decorated, designer trees and wreaths, and unique experiences/items. A week-long online silent auction will showcase a variety of local treasures and adventures, all culminating on December 2nd, 2022. The format of both online and in person will allow us to highlight our donors and sponsors in front of more people in our community than ever!
We are looking to secure donated items to help support our programs that ignite the power and potential of children. Please consider a donation to fund our professionally supported, one-to-one, mentoring relationships that carve a path to a brighter future for our community. We are expecting the support of over 250 business owners and influencial community members.
This single event raises over half of our annual budget. When you donate, your gift(s) are auctioned to raising funds to provide children with caring, kind role models. Please help fund our professionally supported one-to-one mentoring relationships. There is no gift too Big or too Little.
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Island County is a non-profit youth-service organization founded in 1999 in Oak Harbor, WA to meet the needs of youth on Whidbey Island. With over 20 years of service, BBBSIC creates and supports one to one mentoring relationships that ignite the power and potential of youth, and has helped defend the potential of over a thousand at-risk youth. We provide all services free of charge, and to continue our mission we need the help and support of businesses like yours. On average, the cost to support 1-year of relationship-building, impactful mentoring, and professional oversight of a Big and Little is $1,200. 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. We change lives, and we could not do it without you.
Your generous donation(s) to Festival of Trees allow our local youth to achieve their full potential. We greatly appreciate your generous support for our children and our future.
Best Wishes,
