The holiday season is an inherently celebratory time, making it the perfect backdrop for raising awareness and funds for a great cause. The Festival of Trees takes the festive experience of admiring holiday decorations and pairs it with storytelling and engagement to bring people together to rally around a cause.
The Festival of Trees is a display of 75 trees, each decorated by a local organization, company, or sports team. Mall of America® guests are invited to walk through the displays—marveling at the sight, learning about MOA® Community Foundation from its own storyboards and staff, and vying to win the decorations on display through a raffle for each tree. Each year, more than 50,000 people enjoy the experience and raise close to $50,000 for MOA Community Foundation, but more importantly, MOA Community Foundation has the opportunity to share its story and celebrate its impact.
MOA Community Foundation exist to change things for the better, improving the quality of life for our communities, investing in inclusive to make measurable impact in education, mental health, community wellness + financial stability.
You don’t need a massive gala to celebrate your cause (though the Mall can help you with that too). Sometimes, you just need a little bit of merriment and a compelling, uplifting story.
