For more than 50 years, Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade has been selling Christmas trees to help bring holiday cheer into South Florida homes and to create great futures for Miami-Dade youth.
The tradition continues this year with the Thoma Bravo Christmas Tree Lot at Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade’s Hank Kline Club, open seven days a week, starting Monday, Nov. 25, until all the trees are sold. Devoted supporter, Thoma Bravo, is sponsoring the tree lot for the second consecutive year.
To start the holiday season, Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade will host a grand opening ribbon-cutting ceremony on Monday, Nov. 25, at 5 p.m. Miami dignitaries, Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade Board members, representatives from Thoma Bravo, youth members as well as Santa Claus will attend to celebrate the most wonderful time of the year.
All Fraser fir trees are hand-selected by Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade’s president Alex Rodriguez-Roig in North Carolina and stand from 5 feet to 14 feet tall with a starting price of $65. Poinsettias also will be available starting at $15. Shoppers will have the opportunity to Sponsor-A-Child to help make a positive impact in the life of a youth member.
The Thoma Bravo Christmas Tree Lot will be open on Thanksgiving Day as well as Black Friday. Every Black Friday, Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade sells a tree every 63 seconds.
Proceeds from tree sales and Sponsor-A-Child will benefit Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade’s crucial programs and services at its six Clubs and sites combined including its educational after-school programs, tutoring and homework assistance, STEM, recreation, dance, arts and crafts, mentoring and summer and athletic programs. These programs help children realize their full potential as productive, caring and responsible citizens.
