The Salvation Army of Collier County serves as the main host sponsor. Beneficiaries include Grace Place for Children and Families, St. Matthew's House, Educational Pathways Academy, and Night to Shine SWFL by the Tim Tebow Foundation.

"At the heart of the Festival's mission is enabling Christian organizations to expand their impact and reach," said Gina Edwards, 2025 Tree Hall Chairperson, according to NewsWire. "It is an incredible blessing to recognize, support and unify dozens of non-profits who are the hands and feet of Jesus in our community."

Several church groups, school programs, food assistance programs, and international and missionary work will also receive funding through the auction
