festival of trees gala 16

Guests had the chance to bid on these decorative trees, which have been on display for the past three weeks in University Mall.

Christmas trees designed by local businesses and organizations were auctioned off on Saturday, December 10 at the Fourth Annual Festival of Trees Gala at University Mall.

The evening of celebration featured music by Mick Mixon & The Franklin Street Band along with delicious hors d'oeuvres, beer and wine. A wreath contest and a silent auction that included items such as a blue two-seater bicycle, restaurant gift certificates and gym memberships also took place.

All proceeds benefited The Arc of Orange County, which provides advocacy and services to help enhance the lives of individuals with developmental disabilities.

Check out our slideshow of photos from the event.
