The Olive Branch Fund, a nonprofit fund created by Olive and Oak Realty and housed out of the Central Kentucky Community Foundation, invites the public to help support their mission of supporting adoptive families at their Adopt-a-Fraser event, to be held November 28 and 29 at Village Green Landscaping in Elizabethtown.
Olive and Oak owner and Olive Branch Fund founder Tara Still says area businesses are sponsoring trees that will be on display at the event.
“The businesses are going to go in and decorate each tree with a different theme,” Still said. “These businesses have spent money to buy the tree and buy the decorations and taken time to decorate all these trees, and then we are going to auction these trees off at that event.”
A silent auction will also be held along with other activities.
“We have Santa, we have music, activities for the kids, food trucks, giveaways, and then we also have vendors,” Still said. “Since it’s going to be Black Friday and Small Business Saturday, we have vendors who are setting up in tents.”
All proceeds will support the Olive Branch Fund, which Still started based on the experience she and her husband had with the adoption process. The fund aims to help ease the financial burden on families looking to adopt.
“It’s typically around $20,000 to $50,000 to adopt, and I just remember thinking, ‘what if we didn’t have the means to do this? What would we have done?’” Still said. “So it’s always been something that’s just been huge on my heart.”
