Who pays for the trees?

The Participating Organizations include:

Chicago Council, U. S Navy League, Chicago Marine Heritage Society, Chicago Yachting Association, United States Coast Guard Auxiliary, Friends of the Marine Community, International Shipmasters Association, Recruiting & Public Information Council, United States Coast Guard, and Navy Pier.

Tax Deductible contributions are accepted from individuals, groups, and organizations at Chicago's Christmas Ship web site.

Who distributes for the trees?

The United Way of Chicago coordinates the selection of and distribution of the Christmas trees.  I found an article about this in their "Impact Magazine" which is available on the United Way of Chicago's page entitled United Way Community Impact, Impact Newsletter.  Click on Impact Newsletter, scroll down to "Spring 2002: Mentoring" and click on that link to open/read the Newsletter in PDF format.
