On Saturday, November 22, 2019, The Arc Tampa Bay Foundation hosted Premiere Night in conjunction with its 35th Annual Festival of Trees, presented by AmeriLife at the Long Center Sports Complex in Clearwater and hosted by The Thorn Collection. Over 300 guests in festive holiday attire got to enjoy auctions, live entertainment, delicious hors d’oeuvres donated by local restaurants and caterers, holiday shopping from local vendors — and, best of all, the dazzling indoor public display of holiday trees and wreaths decorated by individuals and businesses in the community. Funds raised during the event directly support The Arc Tampa Bay and the services it provides to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
