This year the North Carolina Housing Coalition entered the Triangle Christmas Tree Challenge. The Challenge is a new holiday tradition that allows nonprofits to communicate their message and win prizes. For the Challenge, non-profits were invited to decorate a Christmas tree at the American Tobacco Campus that will be displayed until January 2, 2011. There will be six prizes awarded for the trees that are deemed “best decorated.” The winners are determined in two ways: fans texting in their vote and a team of judges. Fans will choose the top three prizes by texting their votes starting at 8pm on Friday December 3rd through midnight on December 16th. The judges will select an overall favorite and the winners will be announced on Friday December 17th.
Anne Ehlers, NCHC’s Development and Communications Coordinator, put her creativity to work and designed a beautiful silver and blue Christmas tree for the Coalition. Along with Anne, Regina Green, Sonia Ensenat, Barbara Goettsch, Chris Estes, and John Niffenegger decorated the tree on December 2nd. Visit the Diamond View Park at the American Tobacco Campus in Durham and see the Christmas tree decorated by the team!
