Join us for our first annual Festival of Trees! The community is invited to come view beautifully decorated trees, wreaths, and nontraditional trees donated by community members, schools, businesses, and not-for-profit organizations. Every item is up for bid through our silent auction.
Every bid makes a difference. All proceeds benefit the CAH&C Foundation. The CAH&C Foundation is a non-for-profit companion corporation of Carlinville Area Hospital & Clinics that raises philanthropic support to help expand services - such as the CAH&C Regional Cancer Center (coming 2027), advance innovative care and meet the evolving needs of our patients and communities.
