Toast to the Trees returns for our Benefactors and Corporate Sponsors at the Garland level and above.
This summer event kicks off the Festival of Trees and celebrates our top supporters with a night of gratitude and fun. Join us at the newly renovated Canyon Kitchen at Lonesome Valley, where an enchanting woodlands theme will meet the magic of the holidays, transforming the space into a dreamy forest scene. Venue styling is by the talented Growing Studio.
This is our fifth year and the event has sold out every single year! We are very grateful to our Presenting Sponsor, Cashiers Valley Real Estate, for their continued support. We are especially excited for the event to be at Canyon Kitchen this year, which has undergone a significant and exciting renovation.
From twinkling greenery to timeless tunes, this year’s bash promises a delightful evening, blending nature’s beauty with the holiday spirit.
We’re also thrilled to introduce this year’s Toast hosts: our dear friends Sharon and Joe Pryse, who made history as our very first donors to the Festival five years ago! Known for throwing a fantastic party, we’re thrilled to have Sharon and Joe at the helm of Toast this year.
We are proud to once again showcase the finest offerings from our wine and spirit partners: North Carolina’s Weldon Mills, named the best distillery for four consecutive years, will bring their artisanal spirits to the event. JP Bourgeois will provide a rare collection of wines, as well as bubbles from Phillippe Fontaine Champagne–a family-owned champagne house that brings elegance and heritage to each bottle. Canyon Kitchen Executive Chef Ed Selle will curate a menu paired to perfection with our libations, enhancing the evening’s magic.
As we raise our glasses to toast our generous donors, we also raise our spirits in anticipation of another year of fostering local education and community support.
At Toast, what you wear is half the magic – style takes center stage alongside the festivities. For this year’s Forest Formal Attire, think whimsical meets woodland elegance. Guests are encouraged to wear nature-inspired attire: flowy fabrics, earthy tones, floral details, and touches of magic. Whether it’s a hint of mossy green, a crown of wildflowers, or a cloak fit for a forest guardian, let your imagination wander.
