Richmondmom.com is proud and honored to sponsor a Christmas Tree for Family Lifeline at the Miller & Rhoads Charity Christmas Tree Contest. Forty local charitable organizations are filling the incredible plate-glass windows of this historic building with lights of hope and beauty this holiday season. Each tree is decorated by volunteers from the charities, and then entered into a contest that decides which lucky charity will win the $1,000 grand prize.
The winning tree is chosen by a panel of judges and by the people of Virginia together. The decision of the panel of judges counts for only a percentage of the contest’s point structure – the rest is up to the people so you can vote for your favorite tree online.
There are two important dates to remember for this event:
December 6, 2011
At 6:30 p.m. at the Hilton Garden Inn, 501 E. Broad Street, Richmond, VA, the paper will be pulled from the windows to unveil the 50 beautifully decorated Christmas trees. Then at 7:00 p.m., Radio Disney brings entertainment for family fun. There will be free hot chocolate in the hotel lobby and a FREE trolley ride around downtown to see the lights.
January 6, 2012
At 7:00 p.m., winners will be announced and prizes awarded. At 9:00 p.m., the Charity Tree Auction begins. It will be a spectacular night!
Be sure and check out all of the beautifully decorated trees, and support the Richmondmom.com Family Lifeline tree when you vote.
