  • Festival of Trees and Winter Faire 11/28-12/1

    The UConn Health Auxiliary invites you to usher in the season with the first annual Festival of Trees and Winter Faire, Tuesday, November 28, thru Friday, December 1, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the UConn John Dempsey Hospital, Main Level. 

    The Festival of Trees and Winter Faire will be home to a sparkling display of beautifully decorated trees donated by Auxiliary members, UConn Health faculty, staff, and students. Decorated in the tradition of the season or an imaginative theme, the trees will be judged in various categories and prizes will be awarded.

    Best of all, every beautifully decorated tree will go home with a lucky winner in our Festival of Trees and Winter Faire drawing. Winners will be announced on Friday, December 1.

    The new event also incorporates the Auxiliary’s traditional one-day holiday bazaar into a four-day shopping extravaganza including the fan favorite holiday basket drawing. A variety of vendors offering holiday gift ideas, jewelry, chocolate, and more will be available Tuesday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. 

    For further information, tree decorating guidelines and to register your tree or holiday basket, visit health.uconn.edu/auxiliary. Space is limited—register today!

    Proceeds to benefit the UConn Health Patient Assistance Fund.
