LCEC Celebrates 10 Years of Participation in Goodwill’s Festival of Trees

LCEC has been participating Goodwill Industries of Southwest Florida’s Festival of Trees since its inception in 2006. In that time, LCEC has created 10 creative trees including a tree adorned with 150 light bulbs hand painted by LCEC employees! “When the Festival of Trees fundraising event was presented to LCEC we wanted to do our part to help it succeed,” LCEC Public Relations Manager Karen Ryan said. Every year, the LCEC team challenges itself to come up a unique design to bring in as much money as possible for Goodwill. This year, LCEC transformed their holiday tree to look a snowman to fit the theme of there being “Snow Place Like Home.” Known for being the fastest decorating team in town, LCEC’s PR Team created their snowman tree in an hour!

LCEC has been a long-time supporter of Goodwill and their efforts toward helping those with disabilities find and keep meaningful employment. “It is an honor to be part of the Festival of Trees. It brings the phrase “Reason for the Season” to life,” Ryan said. This year’s Festival of Trees runs from November 30 through December 4 at the Sidney & Berne Davis Art Center at 2301 First Street in the River District. Festival admission is $2 for visitors age 12 and up.
