Buy a Christmas tree from Tom Foley and help a local school financially.
Tom, a former stock broker, sells trees at the corner of 8th Avenue and 8th Street in Park Slope. Tell him that you'd like $10 of the purchase price donated to a school listed on his website at https://www.foleyfirs.com/our-fundraiser.
Suggest to your family and friends that they buy from Tom too so that their tree purchase also helps a school. It isn't necessary to have a child in a particular school in order to have the donation made.
Delivery and tree set-up are free of charge if you already have your tree stand in
place.
From "Finding the Perfect Christmas Tree: A Bluegreen Timeshares Holiday Exclusive":
Common Christmas tree varietals include the Douglas fir, the Canadian balsam, the Noble fir, and the Fraser fir. Tom Foley, the proprietor of a popular Christmas tree lot in Brooklyn, New York, recommends that shoppers seek out a Fraser fir if possible. He prefers Frasers for a number of reasons, namely because the varietal boasts approximately 30 branches and gives off an especially piney scent.If you have any questions, send an e-mail to Tom.
