🎄 Naples Festival of Trees & Christmas Market Announces Beneficiaries and Sponsors for Second Annual Event

NAPLES, FL – More than 30 Christian non-profits, missions, and ministries are set to receive a substantial boost this holiday season as the Naples Festival of Trees & Christmas Market, in partnership with premier host sponsor The Salvation Army of Collier County, announces its beneficiaries and key sponsors for its second annual event.

The unique fundraiser, which centers on a silent auction of donated, specially decorated Jesus-themed Christmas trees, is a major unifying platform for Christian outreach in the Southwest Florida community.

A Season of Giving: Proceeds Support Over 30 Organizations

Set to take place on Saturday, November 15, 2025, from 2 to 8 p.m. at The Salvation Army, 3180 Estey Avenue, Naples, FL, 34104, the event allows donors and sponsors to designate their silent auction proceeds directly to a Christian non-profit beneficiary of their choice.

In addition to the tree auction, more than 30 booths in the Christmas Market—featuring artisan crafts, handmade gifts, and a sweet shop—will also contribute to various non-profits.

“At the heart of the Festival’s mission is enabling Christian organizations to expand their impact and reach,” said Gina Edwards, 2025 Tree Hall Chairperson. “It is an incredible blessing to recognize, support and unify dozens of non-profits who are the hands and feet of Jesus in our community.”
