Trilliant Real Estate Group raises $6,730 in one night for Christmas charity

Dec 7, 2020 | 2:41 PM

Pat Garritty, Co-Owner of Trilliant Real Estate Group, announced that $6,730 was raised at their 12th annual “Trilliant’s Trees 4 Treasures” held the evening of December 2.

“We had to do things a little differently this year, but with a little bit of extra planning and added safety measures we were able to pull off an incredibly successful event, giving away nearly 40 trees,” said Garritty. “We have been operating this event since 2009 and I never envisioned it would become what it is today. These are some tough economic times that we are in right now, so it amazes me to see the outpouring of generosity. I love Central Alberta… we are so blessed to call this our home!”

Trilliant’s Trees 4 Treasures is a fundraiser for Central Alberta’s Outreach Centre’s “Adopt-A-Family” program. Everyone is invited to Trilliant Real Estate Group’s Sylvan Lake office to pick up a fresh Christmas tree, and in exchange, donate to this very worthy cause.

This year, participants were asked to pre-book their tree pick-up time and donate electronically to ensure contact was minimized. Since 2009 T4T has raised over $ 71,000 and has been able to provide Christmas to hundreds of families because of the event. “We are grateful and proud to partner with Trilliant Real Estate Group,” said Barb Barber, Executive Director for The Outreach Centre. “This event continues to grow every year and helps out at a time of year that counts the most. It helps this very important project get to the finish line every year.”
