Festival of Wreaths

 

This Festival of Wreaths will be a wreath decorating contest amongst members of our community, ending with an online silent auction and display throughout German Village Monday, November 25 through December 8. Half of the proceeds from the fundraiser will go to the Butler County United Way Partner Agency of the wreath designer with the highest bid’s choice. The other half  will go towards Butler County United Way’s Community Impact Fund, directly supporting programs in Butler County focused on education, health, and financial stability.  

HOW IT WORKS 

Gather some friends within your organization, decorate your wreath, and drop it off to Butler County United Way by Wednesday, November 20 at 4 pm. Wreaths will be on display in an online silent auction as well as in German Village outside of Butler County United Way beginning the last week of November, leading up to the Christmas in the Village holiday celebration on Sunday, December 8 from 12-4 pm. Whoever raises the most money in the silent auction with their wreath get to designate half of the proceeds of the fundraiser to a Butler County United Way Community Partner of their choice!
