Deck the Hall - Festival of Trees

The 2022 Deck The Hall - Festival of Trees is a season-long charitable event intended to generate funds for Court Appointed Special Advocates - CASA For Children of Atlantic, Cape May, and Camden Counties.

In conjunction and with the support of the CRDA and Lite 96.9 WFPG, local businesses, organizations, arena partners, and individuals are invited to Deck The Hall by sponsoring a custom-decorated holiday tree to be on display from Thursday, December 1 through the Holiday Season in the Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall lobby facing the Atlantic City Boardwalk. A portion of the proceeds will be donated directly to CASA For Children of Atlantic, Cape May, and Camden Counties.

CASA for Children recruits, trains, and supports citizen-volunteers who advocate for children in the community and ensures that a well-trained independent volunteer is able to voice timely and objective recommendations to the Family Court on behalf of a child. A child with a CASA volunteer is:

• Twice as likely to be adopted, than to linger in long-term foster care
• Half as likely to re-enter the foster care system
• More likely to have a plan for finding a permanent home, especially children of color
• More likely to have better educational achievement

The Deck The Hall - Festival of Trees will be free and open for the public to walk through during all hours which the Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall lobby is open. With the purchase of a tree, sponsors will also receive a select number of tickets to the Deck The Hall Reception in the Boardwalk Hall lobby on Thursday, December 1, from 5:30pm to 8:30pm where they will be able to celebrate the holiday season with a private viewing of the trees, open bar, and light hors d’oeuvres.
