SINCE YOU ASKED Since You Asked: Festival of Trees raises good amount of green MailTribune.com Writer Posted Dec. 16, 2015 @ 12:01 am Posted Dec. 16, 2015 @ 12:01 am » Social News p bs:newslist StartDate="20121121" EndDate="p bs:datecalc Months="3"" DateSort="1" UseObjects="1" ObjectClass="81" Taxonomywords="2325,665" ExactTaxonomyMatch="1" Image="1" Count="4" --> Are the figures available from Providence's Festival of Trees? —Chuck, Medford You're a man of few words aren't you, Chuck? Just get right to the point. No chit chat. We respect succinctness like that, try to emulate it ourselves. Heck, we'll write whole paragraphs to explain just how succinct we are. To answer your question, yes, the figures from this year's Festival of Trees are available. Providence Medford Medical Center spokeswoman Hillary Brown says this year's event raised about $530,000. The event raised about $523,000 in 2014, for comparison's sake. "We're definitely seeing a great trend in giving," Brown said. About 15,000 people got to take in the festival's 32 large trees, which were auctioned off to raise money for three medical agencies: the Leila J. Eisenstein Breast Center, Swindell's Resource Center, which provides support and education to parents and caregivers of special needs children, and the Mother Gamelan Fund, which gives financial support to in-need patients. —Send questions to “Since You Asked,” Mail Tribune Newsroom, P.O.
