Share

Are you feeling a hint of Christmas in July? So is the Bay Centre!

Downtown’s central shopping hub hosted the Victoria Festival of Trees for the last two years and they’ve just put pen to paper to continue that tradition for the next three!

The agreement gives the Bay Centre exclusive venue sponsorship of the BC Children’s Hospital Foundation (BCCHF) fundraiser and their support will impact over 2,700 children from Vancouver Island who rely on BC Children’s Hospital each year.

This year’s Festival of Trees will take place from November 15, 2017 – January 2, 2018.

The Bay Centre hosted 65 trees the past two years, but have the capacity for over a hundred.

Organizations interested in sponsoring trees can check out the 2017 Sponsorship Package or contact Danielle Fullwood at dfullwood@bcchf.ca.

Benefits of sponsoring the Victoria Festival of Trees include:

  • Association with one of the top 10 brands in BC for brand awareness and character
  • Seven weeks of brand exposure to the over 650,000 visitors to The Bay Centre.
  • A chance to support the excellent care provided by BC Children’s Hospital to children in times of crisis.

For one example of how donations to the BCCHF can change lives, check out the 2017 Champion Child story on Rowan Loran by clicking here.

The Festival of Trees has raised more than $1.6 Million dollars in the last 25 years.  With the capacity to host more trees and sponsors than ever before, The Bay Centre will allow the event to continue to grow and raise even more funds to support programs at BC
Children’s Hospital.
