Tree Sponsor Application (Non-Business / Individual / Community Group)

For community members, families, or organizations who wish to sponsor and decorate a tree at the Festival of Trees!

Spread holiday cheer by sponsoring and decorating a tree that will be gifted to a local family in need this season.

Important Notes:

• All tree sponsors are responsible for purchasing and providing their own decorations. Decorations should be family-friendly and durable enough for an outdoor display through the duration of the event.
• Tree setup and decorating occur on the day of the Festival beginning as early as 9 AM and must be completely set-up by 5 PM.
• Each sponsored tree will go to a local family that the City will coordinate with one of our nonprofit partners.

Tree Decorating Tips & Guidelines:
Keep in mind that these trees will be taken back to families in need this holiday season. To make the experience special, we encourage you to:

• Decorate with intention: Pick a theme, color palette, or style that will appeal to families of all ages.
• Keep it family-friendly: Avoid sharp, breakable, or inappropriate decorations.
• Durability matters: Trees may be handled and transported, so choose decorations that will stay in place during pick-up and delivery.
• Get creative: Handmade ornaments, festive accents, and personal touches are encouraged!
• Use your own supplies: All decorations must be purchased and provided by the sponsor. 

Tip: Imagine how the tree will feel in a family’s home...a little sparkle, warmth, and holiday cheer goes a long way!
