Revved-Up Results: Annual Festival of Trees Delivers Holiday Magic!

The Skagit Regional Health Foundation’s 37th Annual Festival of Trees brought holiday cheer and remarkable generosity to the community, raising $510,000 over Thanksgiving weekend 2025. Proceeds support the Foundation’s Family Birth Center Campaign, helping bring the $1.3 million effort to renovate all 21 private maternity suites to a successful close.

“It’s remarkable to see what our community can accomplish when we come together,” said Michelle Knutzen, Foundation Trustee, who co-chaired the festival with fellow Foundation Trustee Sandra Nootenboom. “From the designers and donors to every attendee who walked through the doors, each person played a part in making this year’s Festival of Trees our most memorable yet.”
