Please join us for the many fun seasonal events and help support our foster kids and families in this season of giving!
Thirty corporations will sponsor trees for $1,000 and try to outdo the competition with dazzling decorations – it is a prime opportunity to brand a tree and incorporate company messaging, as well as enjoy the season.
Tree decorating takes place Thursday November 27th from 12pm-5pm and light refreshments and snacks are provided to get everyone into the Christmas spirit.
It is a great team building activity, with opportunities to enjoy other activities up at Grouse as well – the skating rink, the hustle and bustle atmosphere, the outstanding view! Confirmed media sponsors for this event include:
