Next week, the Children’s Museum of the Treasure Coast will host the Festival of Giving event, formally named the Festival of Trees.
“Our Executive Director, Tammy Calabria, had for years been looking for a way to bring nonprofits together to tell their stories and raise funds together. It always felt like we were competing for the same money to do good in the community. And she realized many nonprofits do not have a “front door” the community could walk through to learn more and get involved. She wanted to use our door as their door,” said Christina McIntosh, the community outreach and events coordinator for the Children’s Museum of the Treasure Coast.
“In bringing the event home to the museum this year, we reimagined it to be called the Festival of Giving so that in the spirit of the season, we are giving back to over 40 nonprofits across the five main counties our education team works with. They are Palm Beach, Martin, St. Lucie, Indian River, and Okeechobee counties,” McIntosh said.
