How to Help and Sponsor this Rogue Winterfest

Sponsorship Levels & Benefits

This year's goal is to showcase for auction; twenty-three professionally decorated 7-1/2 ft. trees, two 4-ft trees, ten collectable displays designed by local artists, and outdoor displays built by local builders and community members. All items will be auctioned during the Gala Event held on the December 7. Each tree has a Tree Sponsor, Design Sponsor, and Decorator. You may choose to select one, two, or all three levels of sponsorship depending on your donation, budget, or talent. Because of your warm generosity we are able to continue this holiday tradition. Thank you!
