Be part of McKinney's cherished Christmas tradition by supporting our 9th annual McKinney Christmas Tree – A Gift to the Community campaign! We’re raising funds to bring a beautiful, 35-foot Frosted Fir from Michigan to the heart of Historic Downtown McKinney.

Every donation, big or small, helps us bring this stunning natural tree to life. For a tax-deductible gift of $35, families and organizations will be recognized at the tree display during the holiday season. Plus, the first 150 donors at this level will receive a special commemorative ornament.

McKinney’s Community Christmas tree is the perfect backdrop for family photos and adds a magical touch to our historic downtown holiday festivities! Donate today and help us keep the holiday spirit alive in downtown McKinney!
