Sponsor a tree.
Light up a family's holiday.
The Barn at Brambleton Festival of Trees returns — and we're calling on artists, families, faith groups, and small businesses across the DMV to donate a fully decorated tree. Every raffle dollar goes to the Loudoun First Responders Foundation.
A one-minute look at last year's Festival.
The trees, the crowd, the first responders who benefit. Tap the speaker to hear the room — it's better with sound.
“Your donation of time, talent, and artistic display will bring a lucky raffle winner many happy years with a beautifully decorated tree.”
The Festival is a fixture in our Loudoun County community — a weekend where local makers, businesses, and families come together to raise real money for the first responders who protect us. Sponsoring a tree is a chance to advertise, to create, and to give — all at once.
Dream up your theme
Choose a family-friendly theme that celebrates the season, our first-responder honorees, or the many faiths in our Loudoun community.
Deck it out
Decorate a brand-new artificial tree (3–6 ft), secured with wire, zip ties, or glue. Add gifts, cards, or accessories that make it a full experience.
Deliver check-in day
Bring your finished tree to The Barn at Brambleton by the coordinator's cut-off. We'll stage it beautifully with signage bearing your theme name.
Watch it find a home
Shoppers spend two days dropping raffle tickets into the tree they want to win. Every dollar goes to the Loudoun First Responders Foundation.
Community reach, creative bragging rights, and a great cause.
Sponsors submitting on behalf of a business are welcome to attach a small (6" max) advertising card to their tree — “This tree proudly sponsored by ______”. Between raffle exposure and prize eligibility, this is one of the most visible ways to introduce your brand to Loudoun families during the holidays.
