Oh, Christmas Trees

Festival of Trees brought the community together at the Waterfront Inn in The Villages for a meaningful holiday fundraiser for Special Olympics Florida. Dozens of beautifully decorated trees designed by local businesses, organizations and individuals sparkled throughout the space. The event included donated gifts and a silent auction that drew steady attention from guests and supporters of the cause. Many of the athletes were on hand, and the hotel provided the treats. Funds raised go toward competition fees, equipment, wellness exams, uniforms, transportation and food for local athletes.
