Help us raise funds to make sure everyone has access to trees and their benefits. Purchase your tickets, sponsor a table, or make a donation today!

The “Tacoma” in our name means everyone: Eastside, Hilltop, South End, South Tacoma, West End, North End, Northeast, Parkland, Midland, Fife. 

Wherever a tree grows, so do habitat, public health, safety, beauty, and a sense of community. 

 

Not everyone has equal access to these benefits. Across Pierce County, where we live determines whether or not we’re in the company of trees and other plants. In their absence, asthma, heat stroke, and heart disease rates grow, as does exposure to the threats of speeding cars and flooding.

We want everyone to live on safe, beautiful tree-lined streets. Making this happen takes all of us reaching out, collaborating, planting, learning, and advocating.

  • This event space is wheelchair accessible and has elevators. There is a paved parking lot onsite with ADA stalls. Individuals with disabilities are permitted to be accompanied by their service animals in all public spaces. Restrooms are available throughout the entire event.

    Presenter will be speaking on microphones and there will be a small jazz band.

    Georgio’s Catering will be providing a buffet of delicious finger food catering to all dietary needs, and enough to cover your dinner needs.

    This location is accessible by Pierce Transit, a short walk from the Portland Ave E & E 56th St stop along bus Route 54 38th St - Portland Ave and Route 41 S 56th St - Salishan.
