New for 2021!

We have partnered with FillaHeart4Kids to do something very special at this year’s Festival of Trees!

Together we can have up to 6 trees donated to group homes in the Chicagoland area that house foster care children.

Go in with your small group or purchase a tree from your family for these children who don’t have a family to love and care for them. All trees will be posted on the PWI Auction App on 11/10/21 for you to view and bid on. You can also view them in person at Northbrook Court or attend our After-Hours private event on 11/20/21 from 7-10 PM to view them and win in person. All bidding ends on 11/20 at 10 PM!

The trees will be delivered to the winners’ homes or the group homes on 11/30/21, just in time to brighten the holidays!
