The Junior League of Champaign-Urbana works to improve the lives of children and families within our community with 100% of the money raised during Festival of Trees going directly to support our projects and programs.

This year we are providing schools with supplies and musical instruments to give to children in need through League Locker, books to our school libraries through Books by the Bushel, middle school children are gaining self-esteem and learning the value of volunteering through Reading Buddies, we are providing additional volunteers to community organizations through Done in a Day, and working in conjunction with the Eastern Illinois Food Bank, we are providing children with a full backpack of food for an entire weekend, ensuring needy children don't go hungry on the weekend.

Please join us for a fun weekend of events and activities.  Your support of Festival of Trees allows us to make a difference in our community.

For sponsorship or event information, please contact Jane Wagner or Jennifer Liagridonis, or call 217-356-5880.
