The first annual Festival of Trees through Big Brothers Big Sisters Serving Lyon County has come to a close. The trees that have been on public display the past week inside Flinthills Mall were auctioned Monday night.
Area Manager Jacque Wellnitz says the community really pulled together to make everything happen. She stresses the importance of continuing to support Big Brother Big Sisters.
The Big Brothers Big Sisters goal has been to get 100 percent matches for youths in the organization and the money raised from this event will go toward that cause. Totals for the fundraiser are currently pending.
Big Brothers Big Sisters now switches gears into its #GiveGreatfully campaign that will be going on through the end of year. Residents can donate in honor or memory of a mentor, with all gifts of $50 or being fully matched.
