Trees for Teens
Trees for Teens is a sponsorship event where we raise funds to give a Christmas gift to a teen/tween from our community that is in need. Folks sponsor a tree and decorate it as they like.
This event has been going on for about 16 years and we would love to keep it going for years to come. We obtain a number of recipients from our Sierra Ridge administrator and all of the teens information is kept confidential.
100% of proceeds get divided equally between 30-45 students and each recipient receives a gift card on behalf of all the sponsors.
Honorary tree
This Christmas season, CEDAPP would like to invite you to contribute to a special tree in remembrance of the fallen heroes of our community. We encourage you to bring a picture or ornament to decorate this tree as we honor the lives and sacrifices each individual has made.
The tree will be placed right next to the big Christmas tree outside El Dorado Savings Bank on November 23rd.You are welcome to place your ornament dedicated to their memory anytime before November 29.
The tree lighting ceremony will be held on November 30, 5:30-7:00pm.
