Our mission and impact
Hope grows when a community gives together.
Giving Trees for Life, Inc. brings people together through joyful events that support cancer prevention, research and compassionate care.
Our story
From one holiday fundraiser to a year-round mission.
The Festival began in 1998 under the leadership of Sue Hapgood. That first gathering raised $8,000 for two organizations. In 2004, support expanded to include the Cancer Center at Harrington.
Today, the Festival is a cherished four-day tradition featuring more than 100 decorated trees, along with community events throughout the year. Volunteers make it all possible.
