🎄✨ We’re excited to share that we’re participating in Gardner White Furniture's Twinkle Town Parade of Trees once again!
This year’s participation was inspired by our CEO, Eric Larson, whose enthusiasm for bringing people together and supporting our community helped spark the idea.
This festive holiday tradition brings together local businesses and community leaders to create beautifully decorated Christmas trees, all while shining a light on the incredible nonprofits making a difference throughout Metro Detroit.
We’re thrilled to be part of the magic again this year and can’t wait to share our tree with you!
Take a sneak peek at our tree and details on how you can show your support will be coming soon. Every vote helps make a difference! ❤️
