Ornaments Wanted For OUT MetroWest Tree Fundraiser
The group supporting local LGBTQ youth is participating in the Boys and Girls Club's "Festival of Trees."
FRAMINGHAM, MA — A local nonprofit that supports LGBTQ youth needs a little help decorating its holiday tree.
OUT MetroWest is participating in this year's Boys & Girls Clubs of MetroWest "Festival of Trees," and is trying to complete a rainbow-themed tree. During each festival, local businesses and groups contribute fully-decorated holiday trees, which are then raffled off to raise money for the Boys & Girls Clubs.
"It's a neat event because it provides a safe way to share the holiday spirit during the pandemic, and it pulls together folks from so many parts of the community," OUT MetroWest spokeswoman Julie Blazar said.
