This year’s festival is raising funds for the
Copp Family Accessible Home Project
​
Imagine your children never being able to access their own backyard, wash their hands in the bathroom by themselves or bake cookies with mom in the kitchen. Calan (8) and Lawson (4) Copp were born with an extremely rare genetic condition with no diagnosis, and little support. We are raising the funds needed to make their home accessible, giving them the normal life we all deserve!
Funds Raised will Help Aid in the Purchase of:
​
-
Rollunder bathroom sinks
-
Soft Open Kitchen Cabinets
-
Rollunder Kitchen Island
-
Accessible shower
-
Pocket Interior Doors
-
Integrated Ramps at Front/Back Door

The Giving Trees Festival is an opportunity to participate in an exciting contest, while supporting a profound cause. Anyone can register, but this is an especially great opportunity for businesses and organizations to gain recognition and marketing by submitting a tree creation potentially seen by thousands. You can design a tree to reflect your business or cause in a creative and memorable way. Winners of the various categories will be publicly announced in multiple media platforms and will receive a beautiful award to display.
The trees don’t have to be expensive, if you use ingenuity and imagination. Please design trees that people will want to buy and which can last from year to year. If you are representing a business with your tree, feel free to increase the value of the tree by working gift certificates or other items you sell tastefully into the décor.
