Winter marks the beginning of The Guardsmen fundraising activities, headlined by the annual Christmas Tree Lot at Fort Mason. Throughout the holiday season, Guardsmen members and their families work the Tree Lot, selling trees, ornaments and wreaths. This highly successful program has made the Guardsmen one of the largest retail sellers of Chrismas trees in the Western United States.
More significantly, the money raised by the Guardsmen goes to help underpriviliged Bay Area children through offering K-12 school scholarships and by sending some of the poorest children in the Bay Area to summer camp each year.
The Guardsmen Tree Lot is open from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., offers tree delivery and is one of the only indoor tree lots in town. The lot is complete with a train, jumpy and popcorn machine for the kids.
Rather than help out Home Depot or Walmart this Holiday Season, stop by the Guardsmen Tree Lot and make a difference for underpriviliged kids.
The 2007 Tree Lot is in full swing. Come to the Fort Mason Center through December 17th. Thanks Thomas for the post.
