Festival of Trees 2005

This year we decorated two trees for the Festival of Trees. One was decorated with autographed memorabilia from national sports teams and athletes, while the other was decorated with autographed memorabilia from local sports teams and athletes. All money collected from the sale of the trees is donated to Primary Children's Hospital.

 

This is the national tree. It was decorated with autographed memorabilia from Joe Namath, Jim Brown, Steve Young, Todd Christiansen, Rulon Jones, the Green Bay Packers, the Tennessee Titans, the Denver Broncos, the Philadelphia Phillies, the Chicago White Sox, and others.

 

This is the local tree. Its decorations included autographed memorabilia from Alex Smith, Andrew Bogut, the Utah Jazz, the Utah Grizzlies, Salt Lake Real, the Utah Blaze, and various teams from the University of Utah, Brigham Young University, Utah State University, Southern Utah University, and others.

 

This is a photo of both trees. The sale of these two trees raised over $6500 dollars, all of which was donated directly to Primary Children's Hospital in Salt Lake City.
