Who needs a free Christmas tree and a manicure in the NYC area? Probably you.
While I totally understand that a Christmas tree isn’t for everyone (I’m the challah-baking type, myself), a lot of my NYC-area friends are, so I’m giving away a 6 foot Christmas tree to one deserving reader to make their season a little more more cheerful! Tyler’s Trees has partnered with PRIV to offer a Christmas Tree Delivery and Installation service to all 5 boroughs of NYC, plus many parts of Hoboken and Jersey City. Annnnd, since it’s through PRIV, you can totally book a blowout and mani at the same time.
The contest is open to ANY PERSON OF ANY BACKGROUND living or working in NYC, Hoboken, or Jersey City and able to take delivery of a 6 foot tree. The catch: you must be spreading goodness and love in your community.
So here’s what one lucky winner will get: 1 Medium 6 Foot Natural Christmas Tree ($130 value), delivered and installed, a small gift, and a gift card for a PRIV service (like a manicure or blowout).
We will pick a winner in NYC, Hoboken, or Jersey City by Dec 9, 2015 for delivery later that week or weekend.
Here’s how to enter/qualify:
1. Share this on Facebook with a sentence or two about why giving to others is important.
2. Leave a comment at the bottom of this post describing the way you’ve given back to your community or any charity efforts you’ve participated in this year. The more details the better… really, it pays to be a good human. The more ‘up’ votes your comment gets = the better your chances of winning!
3. Yes, the winner must be in NYC, Hoboken, or Jersey City.

You can book next-day delivery service beginning November 27th through December 23rd on the PRIV App. You can choose between three different tree sizes and Tyler’s Trees will deliver and install your Christmas tree and it comes with a plastic tree stand and tree skirt:

I think it’s important to give all year long – not just in and around Christmas time. On years where I can’t participate in a fundraiser of my own, one simple thing I try to do is contribute to the fundraising efforts my friends and family are participating in. Doing so allows me to support charities they’re passionate about, and it’s lead me to awareness about different important causes! This year, I donated to an organization that provides horseback riding lessons to people with special needs (a cause close to my cousin’s heart), the juvenile diabetes foundation (a friend did a stationary bike ride-a-thon!), and the AIDS walk. Around this time of year, I love to do Operation Santa Claus or Toys For Tots to make someone’s holiday special!

Giving is a gift that stays with you forever. This year, I raised thousands of dollars and participated in events for Cycle for Survival – an organization which supports rare cancer research at Memorial Sloan Kettering Hospital. I am also thinking of finally donating my Vera Wang wedding gown to “Brides for a cause” (you can count that towards next year’s do-good tally). However, the main way I give back to my community every day is by being a critical care nurse at a Surgical/Trauma ICU in NYC <3

I started a organization called fpa-foundation to help foster children and families in the 5 boroughs. We have been helping homeless foster youths and youths in the foster care system and parents. We having our xmas celebration for 4 years now. We give away coats and toys and have xmas dinner for children & families in the community. We need a xmas tree for this event to put smiles on these children & families faces. While we weren’t wealthy, I realize that I was very lucky when I was growing up. I had a stable family life with parents who supported me, financially and emotionally. There was always food on the table, and poverty was not a part of my life or the lives of anyone I knew.
But, the truth is, most people are not nearly as fortunate.Millions and millions of people end up growing up in abject poverty – and it’s not their fault. Honestly, it’s the luck of the draw. Some of us are born into comfortable families, and some of us are born into communities that face the ravages of famine, war and other terrible circumstances. Yet, they are people just like us. It’s not their fault that they are suffering. Don’t we owe them the same chances that we had when we were growing up? Isn’t it our obligation to provide them with the hope of a better life? Shouldn’t we ask what we should do to say, “thank you” for the luck that we have had in our lives?
We are all connected to each and every other person in the world. We all share the same humanity. Even though our circumstances are different, we are all created equal.I don’t know about you, but I couldn’t live with myself if I didn’t do something to try to make the world a better place. The truth is that poverty doesn’t ever have to occur. It’s not a natural state of nature.Poverty happens when people simply don’t care. There are more than enough resources in the world for everyone to have shelter, be well fed and have reasonable opportunities to live a better life.
The problem is that so many of these resources are concentrated in the hands of too few people. There are people in the world that could eat for a week on what we put into our garbage cans each day.So, that’s why I give back to the community – because I believe it is a moral imperative and the obligation of each and every one of us to do what we can. We all can do small things to make a big difference in someones life.
