Spokane – Christmas Tree Elegance 2023 again broke sales records with area residents purchasing 462,529 of the $1 raffle tickets sold for 16 decorated trees and gifts valued up to $4,999. The raffle which has been raising funds for the Spokane Symphony for 41 years broke the previous record of 436,923 set in 2019.
Nine of the trees filled the mezzanine of the Historic Davenport Hotel and seven dominated the second floor east wing of River Park Square creating a holiday tradition for families throughout the Inland Northwest that is produced by Spokane Symphony Associates.
“The response from the community has been tremendous. The Spokane Symphony Associates are excited to celebrate this accomplishment. It is made possible by the financial support of businesses, including our title sponsor Corwin Ford, as well as individuals and hundreds of hours have been donated by volunteers. I thank them all,” said Lori LaFrance, Christmas Tree Elegance 2023 Chair.
