CHRISTMAS TREE PURCHASES BENEFIT SCHOOLS

When buying a Christmas tree, give an area school a financial boost. Purchase a tree from Park Slope resident Tom Foley at his tree stand in Park Slope or online. Tell Tom which school you want him to donate to, and he'll give $10 of the purchase price to that school's PTA.

A running tally will be kept on Tom's website of the amount that he'll donate to each school. Last year, he donated $13,000 to the schools.

The participating schools are

    Pre-K 280,
    P.S. 10,
    P.S. 39,
    P.S. 107,
    P.S. 118,
    P.S. 124,
    P.S. 130,
    P.S. 133,
    P.S. 154,
    P.S. 295,
    P.S. 321,
    P.S. 372,
    M.S. 51,
    M.S. 88,
    M.S. 443,
    M.S. 447,
    Brooklyn Prospect Charter School,
    Brooklyn Urban Garden School,
    Millennium Brooklyn High School, and
    St. Saviour Catholic Academy.

An extra 50% of the total amount raised will be donated if the number of trees purchased for individual schools exceeds 10% of their student body.

If the number of trees purchased for individual schools reaches 20% of the student body, the original amount raised for those schools will be doubled.

Fraser firs that are five feet tall or taller are Tom Foley's specialty. He also sells small balsam firs that are two feet to four feet, known as "Charlie Browns," and trees that are three feet to five feet.

The Fraser firs are cut just a week before Tom receives them, not months in advance.

Tom has posted care tips about the best location in your home for your tree, keeping your tree watered, and what to do with your tree after the holiday.
 
Trees, wreaths, pine roping (garland), and tree stands can be ordered online here. Fraser boughs are free.

Delivery and set-up of trees is free. Take a look at the map of the delivery area.

Tom's stand is open during these hours:

CHRISTMAS TREE SALES BENEFIT YOUR FAVORITE NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOL

Every time Tom Foley sells a Christmas tree, a local school can earn money. His customers just need to (1) tell Tom to donate $10 of the purchase price to the PTA of their favorite school and (2) sign the school's signature sheet, and the PTA will get $10 per tree.

P.S. 154, P.S. 230, Brooklyn Prospect Charter School, and others are participating in the fund raiser. Tom sells the trees in Park Slope on 8th Avenue, between 7th and 8th streets. He is a former stock broker whose children attended Brooklyn's public schools.

Tell your family and friends about this fund raiser so they too can help raise money for public schools. It isn't necessary to have a child in a school in order to make the donation.

Delivery of the tree is free as is setting up the tree, if a tree stand is already in place. 

If you have any questions, send an e-mail  to FoleyChristmasTrees @ gmail . com.

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.
