For many years, the Fantasy of Trees has been an anticipated part of the holiday season in East Tennessee. The community has supported East Tennessee Children's Hospital with its participation. Just because the main event was canceled this year doesn't mean that the need has gone away. Consider helping the children through the online fundraiser with the purchase of Thumbprint Ornaments, T-Shirts, or through the Raffle Tree.
