A Celebration that Gives Back

BENEFICIARIES
At Chateau Nouvelle, the holiday season has always been about warmth, wonder, and community. But in 2024, we felt called to turn that magic into meaningful impact.
​
The Festival of Trees was born out of a desire to bring people together in celebration—while also reaching beyond our venue walls to support those who need hope the most. As guests stroll through exquisitely decorated trees and enjoy festive activities, they’re also helping transform lives.
​
Every tree sponsored, every wreath hung, and every ticket purchased helps raise critical funds for two incredible nonprofit organizations doing life-changing work: Love Fosters Hope and Camp Hope. Through your participation, you're not only creating memories with loved ones—you’re creating futures filled with healing, support, and possibility.
Love Fosters Hope
Giving Foster Youth a Future Filled With Hope
Love Fosters Hope exists to bring love, dignity, and restoration to children and teens in the foster care system. Through transformative summer camps, year-round mentorship, and empowerment programs, this organization helps foster youth realize they are not forgotten. Many of these children have experienced severe trauma, instability, and loss—but Love Fosters Hope offers them a space to belong, grow, and heal.
​
Every tree sponsored at the Festival helps fund programs that give these children a voice, a support system, and the tools to break cycles of abuse and neglect. Your generosity helps change the trajectory of a young life.

Camp Hope
Healing Our Heroes
Camp Hope, a program of the PTSD Foundation of America, is a Houston-based residential program dedicated to helping combat veterans overcome the invisible wounds of war. Many veterans return home with PTSD, struggling with isolation, depression, and the aftermath of trauma. Camp Hope provides a structured, faith-based healing environment where veterans can receive counseling, peer support, and long-term rehabilitation.
​
By supporting Festival of Trees, you’re helping provide life-changing services to veterans in crisis and giving hope not only to them, but to the families who love them. Your impact could literally save a life.
