Welcome to the 31st Annual Festival of Trees
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 will be on display for two weeks in November at The Fairmont Olympic Hotel . A stroll through this time honored traditions marks the beginning of the holiday season for many local familes. Each tree is dedicated to a courageous Seattle Children’s patient and is available for pre-purchase or bid. On December 3rd, the trees will be delivered and set up in the buyer's home or office.
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 for 2009. 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 in the Festival of Trees invitation and on this web site. Your gift is fully tax-deductible.
Purchase a Tree
Our trees will be displayed on this web site starting in September 2009. Bid on a tree for your home or office before 8:00 pm November 28, 2009. Each tree is valued at $2,500. Should you purchase a tree for an amount greater than $2,500, the difference is tax-deductible. Starting bids are $2,500 with additional bids in increments of $500. Guarantee the purchase of your favorite tree by offering $4,000.
If you prefer, come view our trees at the Fairmont Olympic Hotel starting November 22, 2009. Place a bid on one of the available trees before close of bidding on November 28, 2009 at 8:00 pm.
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.
