Three types of trees are available: Douglas fir, Colorado spruce and Fraser fir, with sizes ranging from 6 feet to 10 feet.

Tree pricing is as follows:

• 6- to 7-foot Fraser fir: $60

The proceeds are used to support college scholarships and numerous community service projects undertaken by the Bay Village Kiwanis Club throughout the area and around the world. Local projects have helped the Bay Village Schools, Fire Department, Police Department and organizations such as Lake Erie Nature & Science Center, BAYarts, Village Project, Gathering Place and Providence House. International projects supported by Bay Village Kiwanis Club include The Eliminate Project, working towards eliminating Maternal and Neonatal Tetanus, and UNICEF to combat thyroid disease. Both diseases have been eliminated in many countries.
