The Great Decorate

The Great Decorate, an annual holiday decorating contest, raises awareness and funds to support local foster teens. Each year, a group of foster teen recipients are selected for The Great Decorate through a partnership with the Michigan Adoption Resource Exchange. From November 29 through December 31, visitors are encouraged to visit participating restaurants and retailers throughout downtown Birmingham to view magnificently decorated holiday trees and decor, and vote for their favorite by donating online at www.thegreatdecorate.com or in-store.

100% OF DONATIONS GO DIRECTLY TO LOCAL FOSTER TEENS TO USE TOWARD THEIR FUTURE WHEN THEY TURN 18.
