Become a Sponsor
The FEZtival of Trees is a public event where organizations and businesses donate fully decorated Christmas trees that are displayed and raffled off to the public. This type of event has been hosted by other Shrine organizations around Canada and the United States for several years. Dates of the FEZtival are November 12 to 14, 2020 at the Khartum Shrine Centre, 1155 Wilkes Avenue. As recognition, your company name will be displayed in the ticket vessel next to the tree, on our sponsor boards, and in all our publications during the FEZtival. Businesses are also encouraged to promote your involvement through your social media channels, and advertising.
One ticket will be drawn as a winner for each tree at the conclusion of the FEZtival. That ticket will win the entire tree and the prizes associated with that tree.
Food and drinks will be available for purchase. Santa will be available during selected times. The success of the FEZtival of Trees is directly tied to the support of the surrounding community organizations and businesses. Thank you in advance for considering supporting our event.
