Festival of Trees
Redmond's Best Nonprofit Event
The Festival of Trees is Hospice of Redmond’s Annual Fundraiser. Voted the Best Nonprofit Event in 2024, the Festival of Trees is typically held at the Deschutes County Fairgrounds on the first Saturday in December. We have both a daytime event and an evening event. During the daytime event, the community is invited to come see Santa, hear some local live music and, best of all, view the 30+ stunningly decorated (donated!) Christmas Trees prepped and ready for the live auction, which will take place during the evening event. The daytime event is free to the public and we typically draw a huge crowd! During the evening, attendees purchase tickets to enjoy dinner, music, raffles, games and a moving and exciting live Christmas Tree auction! ALL proceeds raised during our Festival of Trees Fundraiser go towards our various free programs.
Your Funds Make It Possible.
Funds raised from Festival of Trees make it possible to provide services to terminally ill people and their families not covered by Medicare or private insurance. Your support contributes to the following programs:
Hospice Care – enhancing quality of life while providing end-of-life care and support for patients and their loved ones.
Palliative Care – focusing on symptom management and relief, be it physical, psychological, social, or spiritual.
Transitions program – providing resources and support for those navigating serious illness.
Bereavement Services – providing healthy environment options in which family members can feel safe and accepted while navigating their grief.
Camp Sunrise – helping Central Oregon children by providing them the opportunity to learn and grieve in a safe, supportive, and understanding environment.
Pet Peace of Mind—We believe that no one should have to live without their pet when they are suffering from a life-limiting illness.
We are grateful for your support!
