May Your Days Be Merry & Bright Just Like the Foundation Fundraiser Trees at the Library

December 5, 2024

The Watertown Area Community Foundation is happy to continue our Christmas Tree Fundraiser at the Watertown Regional Library. This holiday tradition showcases the amazing work of 15 area nonprofits and helps raise funds to keep them going strong.

If you haven’t heard about the Christmas Trees at the library, here’s how it works:

  • Each nonprofit has decorated a tree in its own unique style, and these are up all December long at the library.

  • It’s free to visit and enjoy, but if you want to vote for your favorite tree, every $1 donation counts as a vote—and that dollar goes directly to the nonprofit behind the tree.

  • Even better, the Foundation will match every dollar donated to each organization, up to $300. At the end of the fundraiser, the nonprofit with the most votes gets a $500 bonus grant!

This year’s participants include:

  • 4 the Kids SD

  • Boy Scout Troop 209

  • Brothers & Sisters Behind Bars

  • Fellowship of Christian Athletes

  • Joy Ranch of South Dakota

  • Mellette House

  • Northern Prairie Arts

  • Prairie Lakes Healthcare Foundation

  • Rachel’s Hope

  • Special Olympics Watertown Area

  • The Village of Harmony Hill

  • Town Players Community Theater

  • Watertown Area Snow Queen

  • Watertown Cares

  • Watertown Regional Library

The Foundation’s Annual Christmas Tree Fundraiser at the Watertown Regional Library runs through Dec. 31.
