Click to donate to the Christmas Tree Fundraiser

As many of you know, our town's historic Christmas tree loses more branches every year and we will need to replace it soon; a new tree will cost about $20,000! Fundraising for a new tree is underway and will continue throughout 2023.


If you would like to contribute, you can name your price: donations can easily be made online (below). If you prefer to pay by phone or check, please contact our office. Many thanks those who have already contributed!


$1,000+ sponsors will be listed on a plaque that will be hung at the tree every year (and on display at the Chamber office the rest of the year).

If you need more information or assistance, please visit our website at www.ramonachamber.com, call us at 760-789-1311, or email our Office Manager, Laura Leeman, at rccstaff@ramonachamber.com.
