TREES FOR HOPE

Trees for Hope first began in Mobile in 2017, dreamed up and driven from the personal faith of three local business owners and community leaders: Eric Ludgate of EnSec Pest and Lawn, Jimmy Deitz of Air of Excellence and Dr. Christopher Mullenix of Mobile Oral Surgery.

When these men learned how Alabama Baptist Children’s Homes & Family Ministries (ABCH) is serving children and families from hard places, and has been for nearly 130 years now, they began to seek out an opportunity to combine their efforts to help those in need.

The event in Mobile grew greatly in its first two years, and in 2019, we added a first-time Trees for Hope event in Birmingham.

WHAT IS TREES FOR HOPE?

Trees for Hope is a fun and enjoyable evening that makes a big impact for children and families in need. At the event, guests can expect to enjoy delicious heavy hors d’oeuvres, fine coffees, and desserts. Guests are also provided the opportunity to browse dozens of beautifully decorated trees and wreaths ranging from elegant to whimsical, all of which will be up for grabs to the highest bidder.

Along with the Trees for Hope silent auction, attendees are invited to partake in a live auction too, where you can bid on donated items like weekend getaways, golf outings, and unique dining and culinary experiences, to fun activities for the whole family and valuable household services.
