SMH Festival of Trees

Schoolcraft Memorial Hospital (SMH) invites you to become a sponsor for our Second Annual Festival of Trees event taking place November 23 through December 6th. The Festival of Trees is a holiday-themed event with proceeds from the sale of raffle tickets and an online auction going towards Schoolcraft Memorial Hospital’s Annual Fund.  Our Annual Fund helps SMH deliver close to home quality healthcare and specialty services to our rural residents. Trees are displayed in the SMH Atrium for the two weeks of festivities. The festivities include additional attractions such as holiday entertainment, art experiences, and more. The focal point of the event is the display and sale of spectacular holiday trees, wreaths, gift certificates, getaways, merchandise, and more donated by businesses and community groups.  The raffle drawing will be at 2 pm on Sunday, December 6th, and will be streamed live on Facebook.

What makes the Festival of Trees so special?  One reason is the fantastic support we receive from our entire community and sponsors like you. An event like this would not be possible without sponsors.  Our 14-day holiday celebration provides many opportunities for community residents to experience the magic of the holidays, whether you are 2, 102, or any age in between. A regional event like this will not only feature our community hospital but also showcase our area, our service organizations, and businesses like yours.  Your partnership with SMH can only strengthen and improve the quality of healthcare for everyone in our area.   We plan to move forward with a live event; however, if restrictions due to COVID-19 are mandated, we have a back-up plan for a virtual event.
