Join us December 20th, 2025 for our biggest fundraising event of the year!

From 7-10PM at the Manitowoc Yacht Club, we will be hosting a swanky 1960’s style cocktail party complete with 60’s-style hors d’ouvres, libations, music, and of course an array of sparkling trees!

Come dressed in your finest vintage evening wear, and take advantage of some great photo opportunities amid the sparkling Evergleams and your finely festooned friends; We’ll be awarding a special prize for the best-dressed in attendance!

The evening will also feature a live auction, during which attendees can bid on and win authentic vintage Evergleam trees among other vintage aluminum items!

The Trolley to the Trees will be running an exclusive tour for attendees of the Gleaming Gala - the tour will begin one hour prior to the event, boarding at the Yacht Club at 6:00PM. For just an extra $15, you will be taken on a fun and informative ride before the festivities begin!
