2023 CASHIERS
FESTIVAL OF TREES
Benefiting the Summit Charter School Foundation and Cashiers-Highlands Nonprofits
In 2021, the Summit Charter School Foundation introduced a new fundraising event to benefit the school—as well as other nonprofits across the Cashiers-Highlands plateau—the magical Cashiers Festival of Trees! We are thrilled to introduce our 2023 events:
About Cashiers Festival of Trees

Cashiers Festival of Trees is a family-friendly event during Thanksgiving weekend featuring decorated trees, wreaths, gift baskets, holiday shopping, children crafts, story time, rivalry weekend football viewings, entertaining performances, and a pop up Build-A-Bear Workshop®. This uplifting event brings together families, friends, nonprofits, businesses, and individuals to celebrate the holiday season with one-of-a-kind shopping and programming for all ages. The 2023 event will take place at the Summit Center from Friday, November 24-Saturday, November 25 and from 10 AM - 5:00 PM.
While raising vital funs for the school is the primary focus of the event, the SCS Foundation spreads the holiday spirit of giving: when a fellow nonprofit decorates a tree or wreath, 80% of the item’s sale will go BACK to the participating nonprofit, creating a collaborative initiative to benefit our fellow charities and their worthy causes. Supporting our entire community is very important to our cause and the school’s overall mission.
