Community Hospice’s Fantasy of Trees Event Shines at the Gallo Center for the Arts
Modesto, CA (December 1, 2017 – December 2, 2017) – Beautiful designer decorated trees, wreaths and centerpieces filled the Gallo Center for the Arts lobby during the Friends of Community Hospice’s annual Fantasy of Trees Luncheon and Santa Shares Breakfast fundraiser. Fantasy of Trees started the weekend off Friday morning with champagne, a catered lunch, boutiques of local artisans and an opportunity to bid on gorgeous decorated trees, wreathes and centerpieces all designed by local community members.
The fun at the Gallo Center for the Arts continued on Saturday with a special visit from Santa and Mrs. Claus at Santa Shares Breakfast. “Santa Shares Breakfast is personally one of my favorites events,” mentions Monica Ojcius the Executive Director of the Community Hospice Foundation. “We gave over 130 tickets to this event to families in need to ensure no household goes without some holiday cheer”. Santa Shares Breakfast featured a family breakfast, children’s holiday crafts, dancers from the Central West Ballet Nutcracker and a photo with Santa and Mrs. Claus.
Proceeds from this event went to support the children and families of Community Hospice’s Gabriel’s Friends Pediatric Palliative Care Program.
