Become a Tree Donor for the 2025 Festival of Trees

Share Your Holiday Spirit. Support Great Futures.

By donating a decorated tree to the Springfield Boys & Girls Club’s 25th Annual Festival of Trees, you’re doing more than adding holiday magic to the season—you’re investing in local youth and helping build a brighter future for generations to come.

Each tree donation directly supports the Club’s life-changing programs and services that empower young people—especially those who need us most—to grow into caring, responsible, and successful adults.

Showcase Your Creativity to Thousands

Whether you’re an individual, family, business, or organization, decorating a tree is a festive way to express your creativity while supporting a meaningful cause. Your tree will be proudly displayed at the MassMutual Center in downtown Springfield, where more than 18,000 visitors will experience the joy, beauty, and wonder of the Festival throughout the holiday season.

Why Become a Tree Donor?

  • 🌟 Help fund critical youth programs and mentorship

  • 🌟 Gain positive exposure for your business or brand

  • 🌟 Be part of a cherished community tradition

  • 🌟 Celebrate the spirit of giving in a hands-on, meaningful way

Make Your Impact in 2025

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the Festival of Trees—making it the perfect time to get involved, make a difference, and be part of something truly special. Your decorated tree is more than just a display—it’s a symbol of hope, joy, and opportunity for the kids we serve every day.

Tree Sponsorship Rules

Registration Will Open Sept 1st 

  • All trees must be artificial.
  • Your entire display (tree and all items) must fit within a 3′ x 3′ space. Oversized items are not allowed under or around the tree.
  • Any large items that cannot fit within your designated space must be represented with a photo or printed list attached to the tree.
  • You must include a tree skirt, topper, and working lights.
  • Do not glue any decorations to the tree.
  • Do not include perishable or edible items.
  • Do not hang or connect any part of your display to venue walls or ceilings.
  • All items on and around the tree will be donated to the winner—you may not include anything you expect to have returned.
  • All tree items must be new or in like-new condition. Used, worn, or vintage-looking items will be refused.
  • Do not use artificial snow, tinsel, or confetti in or around your tree.
  • All decorations must be securely attached to prevent loss or damage. Use wire, twist ties, or zip ties to fasten items safely.
  • You must clearly display a list of all included items with your tree.
  • If including gift cards or certificates, you must place a “ghost” version on the tree and hand the actual item to SBGC staff at setup for safekeeping.
  • You must label ornament boxes with your name and bring them to setup.
  • You must bring your own setup tools and supplies, including scissors, tape, wire, and a step-stool.
  • Your tree must be easy to disassemble by the winner—no complex builds or tools required.
  • You are responsible for ensuring your display is safe and secure. SBGC is not liable for lost, stolen, or damaged items.
  • You must follow SBGC’s direction on tree placement. We reserve the right to relocate your tree for best presentation and traffic flow.
