This year, twelve trees will be designed and on display prior to the event. Tickets can be purchased HERE or by calling the UWCT office at (254) 778-8616. There will also be live and silent auctions for other specialty items. Winners will take their prizes home that evening.

The trees are raffled off and come fully, professionally decorated and loaded with over $1,000 worth of gifts beneath each tree. Local businesses are showing tremendous support by sponsoring trees, donating services and gifts.
