Festival of Trees
September 4th, 2008 ~ by Amelia Cook
The Skagit Young Professionals & the Mount Vernon Chamber of Commerce Ambassador Committee are proud to announce that we have joined forces in support of the Skagit Valley Hospital Foundation’s 2008 Festival of Trees. This project was a lot of fun last year, and we hope that with your involvement, we can raise even more money for the Skagit Valley Hospital Foundation this year.
Our design team has established a goal to raise $4500+ and with your help, we can reach this goal and together we can support out community and this very worthy campaign.
This is the 20th anniversary of the Foundation’s largest event. Since its inception, 19 Festivals have raised over $2.2 million to benefit services and programs at Skagit Valley Hospital Regional Cancer Care Center.
Our theme this year is “Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend” and the tree will feature Marilyn Monroe memorabilia, the color pink, diamonds, and some great gift packages and luxurious getaways. These gift packages generally become the highlight of the auction. Your generous donation of a gift item or cash donation would go a long way towards creating an appealing gift package for the tree our group is designing. In return for your donation, your business will be featured as one of our generous donors for the Festival of Trees.
Please consider this request for a gift item &/or cash donation for the auction. All donations are tax deductible. Tax id #501 © 94-3078550. If you would like more information about the event, please contact the chamber office at 360-428-8547 or email kristenw@mountvernonchamber.com
