A portion of the proceeds from each tree sold, and full proceeds from tree bag sales will be donated back to Big Brothers Big Sisters. Last year, over $20,000 was raised to support our mentoring programs through this initiative. We hope you can lend a hand by signing up for one or more shifts during the upcoming holiday season.
