It's Christmas All Year Long!

The mission of Christmas in St. Michaels is to provide resources to help local non-profit groups
fulfill their goals of enhancing the quality of life for the residents of the St. Michaels community.

Christmas in St. Michaels traditionally brings an array of festivities and holiday events to the town of St. Michaels during the second weekend of December. But, it has never lost sight of its mission, which is to provide resources to assist local, non-profit organizations fulfill their goals of enhancing the quality of life for the residents of the community.

In 1987 a group of energetic volunteers recognized the need for day care services in the community. Since that time, this annual fund-raising weekend event has raised nearly $900,000 for local, non-profit organizations. Through the years, financial contributions have been made to elementary and secondary local school programs in support of music, athletics, and citizenship.

Beneficiaries for 2010 include:

Christmas in St. Michaels gives all year long to organizations that provide support to the community. Based on grant applications received, selections of beneficiaries each year are made by an all-volunteer board of directors. Using a needs-based grant process, proceeds from Christmas in St. Michaels are distributed to non-profit community organizations that provide resources and support to adult individuals and children of all ages.

The application for funding for 2011 is available here.
