Thanks for a great 31st Annual Festival of Trees
Thanks to all of our sponsors and supporters for another great year to benefit uncompensated care at Seattle Children's Hospital. 

Since 1978, the talented members of the Dr. Forrest L. Flashman Guild have presented the Festival of Trees, a display of beautifully decorated Christmas trees, each with its own unique theme and style. Trees are displayed for two weeks at the end of November at The Fairmont Olympic Hotel. A stroll through this time honored tradition marks the beginning of the holiday season for many local families. Each tree is dedicated to a courageous Seattle Children’s patient and is available for pre-purchase or bid.   

Festival of Trees raises funds for uncompensated care, which allows Seattle Children’s to provide quality medical care to all children of the Region regardless of a family’s ability to pay.  Click here to read some of the patient stories.

Sponsor a Tree - $2,500
Support our event by sponsoring a tree.  Your company name will be displayed at The Fairmont Olympic Hotel for two weeks, and will also be on the patient story board which will accompany each tree to its new home.  You'll also be recognized on this web site.  Your gift is fully tax-deductible.

Purchase a Tree
We currently are showing 2009 trees on this website.  Our 2010 trees will be displayed starting in September 2010.  Purchase a tree for $4,000 for your home or office between September 1 and November 27, 2010. Each tree is valued at $2,000 and the difference is tax-deductible.    

Come view our trees at the Fairmont Olympic Hotel between November 21 and December 1, 2010. If there are still trees available at this time, they will be offered for bid of at least $2,500.

Give-Back Program 
Another way to support our event is to donate the ornaments or the entire tree back to our guild after the holidays.  Returned items would be used in the future to generate revenue for Seattle Children's Hospital. 

Donate to Festival of Trees to benefit Seattle Children's
Make a monetary or in-kind donation to our guild to offset our costs of producing trees. This year donations will be matched by The Goodman Foundation up to a total of $25,000.
