Wreaths of Hope in Harmony with Trees of Hope

The
shops at Yale and Ronald McDonald House of Connecticut have partnered
to connect New Haven’s vibrant downtown community of shops and
restaurants with a twenty-four-yearlong tradition:
Trees of Hope. Trees of Hope takes place at the Maritime Center located
on Long Wharf Drive and displays more than 100 trees decorated in
various themes and donated by numerous organizations and individuals.
The shops at Yale have created a beautiful tree
decorated with blue and white ornaments and 18 gift cards worth a
combined $735. In total the tree is worth more than $1,000 and one lucky
supporter will win the entire package including the “Real-Feel” tree
with LED lights, all ornaments, and 18 gift cards.
Each shop and restaurant that generously donated a gift card will
display a Wreath of Hope on its door to indicate its support of Ronald
McDonald House of Connecticut, an organization that provides shelter for
families of children receiving medical treatment.
All proceeds from this event support Ronald McDonald House of
Connecticut and Western Massachusetts.
