How You Can Help!

In addition to the thousands of people who volunteer at the Fantasy of Trees, many individuals and organizations make in-kind donations to reduce the expenses of making the Fantasy of Trees the premiere holiday event in East Tennessee. This means even more money goes directly toward helping the children of this region.

Wish List

Here are a few of the things needed at the Fantasy of Trees. If you or your company would like to donate any of these items or would like more information about making an in-kind donation, please call the Children's Hospital Volunteer Services Department at (865) 541-8136 or send an e-mail to fot@etch.com.
