21st Annual Festival of Trees a Big Success
December 2nd, 2009 ~ by Ryan Schols
This year the Chamber Ambassador Committee and Skagit Young Professionals created a “We Wish You a Merry Grinchmas” themed tree for the Annual Festival of Trees fundraiser for the Skagit Valley Hospital Foundation. The tree raised the highest amount of all trees at $4,000, won Designer’s Choice Award as well as People’s Choice Award. The mini tree, which is a replica of the actual tree, raised $650. The Festival of Trees grossed over $255,000 for the Behavioral Care Center at Skagit Valley Hospital! Thank you to everybody who had a part in making the tree a success. It took many donors, volunteers and a fantastic designer, Janey Dodge of Shellan Jewelers, to put together such a great tree.
