Philly Goat Project Christmas Tree-Cycle Festivals
Three events for you to attend:
Sat, Jan 10th 12-3pm (rain date Jan 11th) – The Farm at Awbury Arboretum
Sat, Jan 17th 12-3pm (no rain date) – Laurel Hill West Cemetery Conservatory
Sat, Jan 24th 12-3pm (rain date Jan 25th) – The Farm at Awbury Arboretum
These family-friendly events bring together sustainability, community, and plenty of fun all in support of our nonprofit.
There is a $20 donation requested per Christmas tree. These donations support Philly Goat Project’s free year-round programming, including community goat walks, children’s literacy events in libraries & schools, environmental education events throughout city parks, youth job training programs, animal-assisted therapy events, and bereavement programming.
New this year, Philly Goat Project is partnering with Solar States, a certified B-Corp with a dual mission to expand access to solar energy and educate the next generation of clean-energy workers. Through this partnership, Solar States will cover the $20 donation of anyone who completes a solar consultation before the Tree-Cycle event they wish to attend. Interested participants can request a free solar quote at https://go.solar-states.com/goats/. Once the consultation is completed, they will receive a voucher to present at the time of the tree donation. If they choose to move forward with Solar States services, they’ll receive $400 off their installation and Solar States will donate an additional $400 to Philly Goat Project. Solar States and Philly Goat Project first connected as fellow recipients of the Community Capacity Grant, bonding over their shared commitment to sustainability and job skills training programs.
