Providence O'Christmas Trees Gala (Virtual)

After serious consideration, we have made the difficult decision to convert the Providence O'Christmas Trees three day celebration to a Virtual Gala & Auction. We are disappointed that we cannot celebrate the season in person, but our primary concern is the safety of you, our dedicated supporters.

We promise to keep the Christmas spirit and tradition as strong as ever, and hope that we can count on your continued generosity to our ministries of Providence Home and Community Care.

To register, donate, bid on auction items and more go to https://providencewa.ejoinme.org/otrees2020

The gala event is WJA’s primary channel to raise funds for its scholarships and grants. It is held at Chelsea Piers and is around several New York events, this year is a little different.

I'm sad to not be on my way to New York, but so excited to "see" even more of you virtually! With no travel cost, no dinner or dress, everyone can afford to attend this year! Early bird pricing of only $15 for members ends Wednesday, so get your ticket today!
In the silent auction that benefits the Foundation, you will find a consulting package from me to bid on and a Scout and Cellar gift card, among many other wonderful items!
