    Description

    Kennedy Krieger Institute celebrates its 36th annual Festival of Trees at the Maryland State Fairgrounds during Thanksgiving weekend, Nov. 28 - Nov. 30. This three-day holiday celebration benefits the patients, students and programs at Kennedy Krieger Institute and kicks off the most wonderful time of the year.

    Volunteers are needed before, during, and after the festival to set up, decorate, assist attendees, oversee activity stations, be Santa’s Helpers, and much more! Interested in volunteering as a group? Email festivaloftrees@breakadifference.org for more information.

    No special skills required, but some roles will be a great fit if you: enjoy interfacing with the public, or would like to help with moving and physical tasks included in event setup and breakdown.
