For the past six years, the main lobby has been lit up with all different types of Christmas trees during the holiday season. 

The Bethel Park Chamber of Commerce looked for donations from local businesses to help purchase artificial trees.

DECA then recruited clubs to “adopt” a tree and decorate it to go along with their club or with a holiday theme.

This project helps students in each club better connect, while also collecting donations for their clubs.

People could donate $1 towards a club, and in exchange for their donation complete a ticket for a tree.

To purchase a ticket for the chance to win a tree, students in the various clubs or classes were selling tickets all around the community during the month of December. 

If you were the lucky winner, not only did you get a tree, but you also got decorations and any additional contents.
