Celebration of Trees
Our signature holiday event returns for its sixth year at the University Mall. Local businesses, churches, and individuals donate beautifully decorated trees loaded with gifts, and the public gets to raffle for a chance to win them, tree and all. Guests can browse the trees, soak in some Christmas music, and pick up raffle tickets for $5 each or 5 for $20. Over the past five years, this event has raised more than $185,000 to support ANEW Place's work with adults experiencing homelessness in our community.
