  • Let your imagination run wild! Decorate your tree with your own unique style and flair. Ask your collaborating school or non-profit to take part in the decorating efforts.

  • Encourage friends, family, patrons, and neighbors to come vote for your tree through the QR code voting website link displayed in front of your tree. Each vote is $1 and there is no limit on the number of votes that can be cast. Your business and corresponding school or non-profit can ask the community to come out and vote for your tree!

Winning Prizes

The tree with the most community votes receives a plaque for the winning business and free entry into the event the following year. The winner’s partnering school or non-profit will receive the largest amount of monetary donations through voting!

But everyone wins, as each school or organization partnering with a sponsoring business tree will receive a portion of the voting proceeds from their individual tree!
