Corporations, non-profit organizations, and media partners will come together to decorate 150 trees throughout the space, and the trees will remain at the mall for the holiday season until December 18. After that, they will be delivered to local families in need across the city. The event is expected to be full of teamwork, live music, entertainment, and the climax of the night is the lighting of the CORE’s 45-foot tree and an indoor firework show!
