As most of us are aware, the Friends of Hospice presents a magical display of decorated trees along with a host of other holiday fare during the annual Festival of Trees, held at the Tidewater Inn during Thanksgiving weekend. These breathtakingly beautiful trees are sponsored by individuals, businesses, and community organizations. The sponsor chooses to decorate the tree or asks for assistance from volunteers from the Festival of Trees. Following the close of the Festival, the trees are delivered to the sponsors’ destinations of choice. Some choose to display at their own home or business; many donate the tree to an organization within the community.
Often the Friends of Hospice is asked “How Can I Be a Sponsor?”…well it is easy! Simply contact sponsorship chairmen Midge Menzies (410-714-4125) or Dana McGrath (410-253-0919) and request information or a sponsorship form to be completed and returned to guarantee your tree. Trees are available in sizes ranging from 4 to 8 feet with pricing ranging from $500 to $1,000. You might consider co-sponsoring a tree this year – 2 related businesses, or friends joining together to support Hospice. Sponsor signage is at the Festival and within the Festival program. Tree sponsors also receive 1 or 2 tickets to the Gala Preview Party.
The Festival of Trees is the major fundraiser for the Talbot Hospice Foundation. This year’s event theme is “Holiday Traditions Around the Globe”. We look forward to having you as a sponsor and appreciate your support of this very worthy event!
