OUR FUNDRAISERS
Christmas Tree Sale
Our trees have been ordered and will be here soon!
Our major fundraiser is our Christmas Tree Sale - just north of the corner of 127th and Harlem - usually starting the weekend before Thanksgiving. We purchase freshly downed Wisconsin Balsam Fir (best fragrance), Frasier Fir and the "new kid on the block" - the Canaan Fir which has a fragrance similar to a Balsam and strong branches & better needle retention like a Fraser Fir.
SUPPORT our efforts by buying your tree from us this year!
