Christus St. Michael Atlanta annual Christmas tree silent auction

The Christus St. Michael Atlanta Foundation’s annual Christmas tree silent auction fundraiser is back for 2020.

This year, decorated trees will be displayed at various businesses across Atlanta and Queen City, with bidding opening on Monday, October 26.

Bidding on trees located in Atlanta will close at 3 p.m. on Sunday, November 8, during Holiday Open House.

Trees located in Queen City will close at 3 p.m. on Sunday, November 15.

“This is absolutely my favorite time of the year, but Covid-19 has drastically changed our traditional holiday plans and activities. I am so thankful to our area businesses for decorating the trees and providing the space to display them for our auction.”

“This year’s fundraiser would not be possible without the support of the community,” Melissa Kimble, Development Coordinator for CHRISTUS St. Michael Hospital-Atlanta.

Trees decorated by the following businesses will be located at Price Hardware: The Copper Pine, State Bank of Dekalb, Atlanta Area Chamber of Commerce, United Country Realty, Price Hardware, Cornerstone Title and Queen City High School Interact Club.

Merle Norman will host trees decorated by Atlanta Floral, CSMHA Nursing Administration and Ashley Bryant Boutique. Atlanta Athletics and Images Salon will each decorate and display a tree in their storefronts.

Delicious Delights Café in Queen City will host trees decorated by Queen City Floral, City National Bank and NextHome Realty. Hummingbird Flower and Gift will also decorate and display a Christmas tree.

Bidding on each tree will start at $25 and can increase in whole dollar increments. Winners will be contacted as soon as the auction ends to come claim their prize. For more information, contact Melissa Kimble at 903-799-3301 or by email, Melissa.kimble@christushealth.org.
