For United Way BC’s 6th Annual Tree of Lights, we invite you inside the cozy lobby of the Coast Prince George Hotel by APA. The Tree of Lights is a sight to see, whether you add it to your list of destinations this holiday season, or stop by while visiting one of the hotel’s restaurants or vendors.
United Way BC is proud to display the Tree of Lights and use it as a way to connect locally and encourage connections within the community.
This holiday season, be United for hope in Prince George by supporting the Tree of Lights.
The Prince George Cougars helped us light the Tree of Lights on November 14!
Be United for hope this holiday season!
The Tree of Lights is a cherished community tradition, each year it inspires people to get past the darkness and difficulties brought upon us in the past couple of years. Our community continues to face new challenges each and every year, but the Tree of Lights provides those who reside in Prince George with a sense of joy, happiness, and most of all, hope.
Last year, thanks to the incredible generosity of local businesses and individuals, we raised nearly $30,000, which stays entirely local to Prince George! These funds allowed us to bring United Way BC’s School’s Out program, an after-school program that ensures children get the mental wellness and developmental support they need, to our community.
This year, we want to bring even more United Way BC programs to Prince George and make sure our community has the support it needs. Help us light the tree and reach our goal of $40,000 in support of our community.
