The Giving Tree At Westfield Old Orchard

By supporting the Giving Tree at Westfield, you are making it possible for a student in need to experience a holiday filled with joy.

Opening on Friday, November 29th through December 15th

The Giving Tree will be located in the “Candy Cane Station” (glass cube) at Westfield Old Orchard

Here’s how it works:

● Choose an ornament from the Giving Tree, each representing a student in need within the
Niles Township Schools.
● On the back of the ornament is a sticker with a number, this identifies the student, school and
their favorite Westfield Old Orchard store.
● Please donate a gift card to the student's favorite store as indicated on the back of the
ornament. This allows them to pick out exactly what they want or need to ensure they will
have an unforgettable holiday.
● Any denomination gift card is appreciated, however, a gift card starting at $50.00 would have
an even greater impact, helping a child choose a meaningful gift for themselves.
● Remove the Number sticker on the back of the ornament and place it on the gift card you
purchased.
● Please bring this gift card to the “Cube”, where a member of The Education Foundation board
will ensure it reaches the right student.
● If the Education Foundation is not available, your gift card must be dropped off at the security
office at Westfield Old Orchard Mall located on the lower level, across from LensCrafters and
near Macy's.
● To simplify the process, if you prefer to simply make a donation, please visit The Education
Foundation’s website. With your contribution, a board member will personally purchase a
gift card on your behalf.

Without this support, many of these students would go without a gift this holiday season. Your
donation provides not just a present but the gift of choice and dignity. If you have any questions, please contact Alyse Burman at 847-561-9279.
