Everyone knew that something magical had happened at the 2022 Trees For Charity Auction Gala last month and the awe inspiring grand total announced proves it. Trees For Charity Chairman Brandon Parker announced last week that the half a million dollar mark was crossed once all the tree toppers and silent auction items were added to the total. The night of this year’s auction gala finished with a new record amount of donations at $438,200 dollars. To put that in perspective, the 2021 auction was also a record breaker with a night total of $310,300 dollars and when all the additional donations were added in it reached a total of around $400,000 dollars. The highest tree this year went for $44,700 dollars and benefitted “Kanyon’s Adventures”. The grand total for the 2022 Trees for Charity was $509,000 dollars. Well done to all that donated trees, participated in the auction, and helped organize this treasured annual event.
