Our annual holiday fundraiser is a great family event! Visitors will be delighted and inspired by a winter wonderland of decorated holiday trees that are raffled off to lucky winners! Saturday evening activities consist of a special reading of Polar Express and a pajama party for kids among a forest of fun. Masks will be required for all festival attendees.
Decorated trees are donated by local families, businesses, organizations, and schools. With a wide variety of sizes, shapes, and themes to choose from, there is something for everyone.
Donors have decorated a tree as a family project, in memory of a loved one, to promote a cause, or to advertise their business. Decorated trees must be artificial and tree size can range from tabletop to 11 feet high.
Visit our blog to see winning trees in the past trees for inspiration!
Beginning in November, we will be registering tree donors and sponsors as well as offering advanced ticket sales.
2021/2022 Grant Cycle is now open! Last year REF pivoted from the awarding of traditional teacher-initiated grants to providing immediate relief to support teachers’ needs.
We are excited to resume the offering of our traditional grants.
REF raises money for grants through generous donations from individuals and businesses as well as our main fundraiser, The Festival of Trees.
We are happy to announce that Festival of Trees is returning to Parker Middle School on December 4th & 5th.
