HarborChase of Naperville, a local senior living community, is inviting local businesses and individuals to participate in their First Annual Festival of Trees.
Interested participants are welcomed to sponsor and decorate a tree for the event. The winner of the festival will be announced at the community’s Festival of Trees Celebration that begins at 2PM on Fri., Dec. 16.
“We expect most of the decorated trees to be small… probably no taller than three or four feet,” said Sally Tanilla who is planning the program.
The festival will feature complimentary holiday treats and live entertainment. Proceeds from the event will be donated to the winner’s favorite local charity.
“At HarborChase, we are always looking for creative and meaningful ways to give back to our community,” said Jennifer Timmer, Executive Director of HarborChase of Naperville, when she announced the festival. “This event is a wonderful way to celebrate the season and put your creative talents to good use in the name of your favorite local charity. We hope you will help us spread some extra holiday cheer this year.”
For individuals and businesses that wish to participate, HarborChase asks that you deliver your sponsored and decorated tree between 9 and noon on the morning of December 16.
Party 2-3PM, Fri., Dec. 16
At the Festival of Trees celebration, guests will enjoy live entertainment, cookies and holiday punch.
At the conclusion of the event at 3PM, the winning tree and charity will be announced. The special event is free and open to the public.
