Ronald McDonald House of Springfield is excited to announce the first annual Trees of Hope holiday spectacular. This very special annual holiday event will support our mission of providing a “home-away-from-home” to children and their families who are being treated at nearby hospitals and healthcare facilities.
Trees of Hope is open to the public and will feature beautiful holiday displays donated and sponsored by individuals, local businesses and community organizations.
Raffle tickets are sold for $1 each and attendees will be able to distribute their tickets towards the displays they would like to win.
It is a fun event for the entire family and a perfect way to get in the holiday spirit and kick off this special season.
Don't miss the Trees of Hope November 6-19 at Gary Rome Hyundai on Whiting Farms Rd in Holyoke!
While you're there, check out our tree, "From The Heart," a classically-themed 7.5 foot pencil tree, decorated with red ornaments, ribbon, and poinsettias, sprinkled with gold, red & black buffalo plaid, and pinecone accents PLUS a glass Santa ornament from Vaillancourt Folk Art.
