Each year, Foundation 205 sells trees for residents to display and decorate in their front yards. We love being able to continue this long standing Elmhurst tradition that now supports education throughout District 205 in Elmhurst. ​​​​​​​​In 2025, we sold a record of almost 3,000 trees. ​
If you would like information on becoming a neighborhood Tree Captain, please email Kaitlyn Jeanneret.
