Trees for Troops has been sponsored by Redrock Farm for the entire 10 years of its wonderful existence. “10 years of Tradition” is being celebrated by the Christmas Spirit Foundation and the Trees for Troops organization, as well as its number one sponsor, FedEx.
Redrock Farm has been donating trees, letting our customers all over the United States sponsor trees, and collecting donations from our visitors here at the farm and at the Tunbridge Worlds Fair. We haven’t kept track of exactly how many trees have been sponsored and donated over the past 10 years, but it’s in the neighborhood of 300 trees and $4000.
For example, in 2013, Redrock Farm donated 4 Christmas trees and our customers donated 11 more, for a total of 15 Christmas trees. 11 of those trees were delivered to The Rocks in Bethlehem, NH for pickup and distribution, 1 was given to Vermont soldiers, and 3 were sent to APO addresses in Afghanistan. Redrock Farm bought 15 “Thanks for supporting Trees for Troops” Ornaments at $15 each ($235) and gave them to tree donators. Supporters, our customers and individual visitors to our farm donated a balance of $650.76.
What I have noticed over the years is that our tree customers in Texas are the most generous in support of Trees for Troops.
As a 22 year veteran of the Navy, I take special pride in supporting the program and will continue to do so as long as it (and I) exist.
