The drive is on now for the Mayor's Christmas Tree Fund. This fund is used to support local charitable organizations.
More information on how you can contribute from $5 (for an ornament) up to $2,500 (for a holiday package) is available by going to the web site here
Just think, big donations are great but if 10,000 folks contributed $5 for an ornament, the fund would raise $50,000.
The Mayor’s Christmas Tree Fund will benefit two great organizations this year. The Shawnee Lions Club plans to use the money to buy a vision screener that will be used in local schools to check hundreds of kids for possible eye conditions. Rebuilding Together Shawnee will use its share to help even more local residents who need repairs on their homes.
