What are Trees of Hope?
The Trees of Hope is a community event introduced in 2009, which provides Abbotsford businesses the opportunity to share in the spirit of giving during the month of December. This is a fantastic opportunity to ‘brand’ a Christmas tree to showcase your business, as well as support Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Fraser Valley. The decorated trees will be displayed in the common area of Sevenoaks Shopping Centre during the Holiday season at the busiest entrance (nearly 800,000 visitors in December alone).
The participation fee is $550; register before October 31 and get an Early Bird rate of $500. Registration, payment & logo must be received by November 10th, as space is limited.
What are the benefits to participating?
