We invite you to join us as we celebrate the 27th Annual Festival of Trees and Lights. "Festival" supports programs at Blank Children's Hospital and has become the traditional kick-off to the holiday season in Central Iowa.
There are a number of opportunities for individuals and organizations to become sponsors/underwriters. Whether your gift is $25,000, $2,500 or $250, you will be helping ensure quality healthcare for children at Blank Children's Hospital. In fact, the money raised from Festival benefits the Child Life and Advocacy & Outreach programs.
For underwriters, the Festival of Trees & Lights provides an opportunity to support the work of Blank Children's Hospital--the only hospital in Iowa just for kids. As a sponsor or an underwriter of the Festival of Trees & Lights, you are a significant part of ensuring quality healthcare for children.
