Christmas Tree Elegance
Christmas Tree Elegance, Valle Monte League’s premier fundraiser promoting mental health in our community since 1957, kicks off the holiday season the first weekend after Thanksgiving. The unique highlight of Christmas Tree Elegance is the opportunity to win one of the beautiful, professionally designed Christmas trees along with its surrounding themed gifts. In addition to beautifully decorated Christmas Trees, each events includes a gourmet meal and features a professionally produced fashion show, a silent auction and a fund-a-need appeal.
Not only will Christmas Tree Elegance get you into the holiday spirit, your ticket purchase and event participation helps affirm our mission to assist our valued mental health beneficiaries Family & Children Services, Centre For Living with Dying and Hearts & Minds Activity Center. Your participation in the event makes a difference in the lives of people, young and old, who look to our agencies to provide them the compassionate services they need and seek.
