Give A Little, Change A Lot! For 75 Years, Boys & Girls Clubs Of Miami-Dade's Beloved Christmas Tree Lot Has Been A Cherished Holiday Tradition, Spreading Joy And The Magic Of The Season To Families Across South Florida While Creating Great Futures For Miami-Dade Youth.

The tradition continues with the Thoma Bravo Christmas Tree Lot at Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade’s Hank Kline Club, open seven days a week, starting Monday, November 24th, until trees are sold out. Devoted supporter, Thoma Bravo, is sponsoring the tree lot for the third consecutive year.

To kick off the holiday season, and commemorate the 75th Anniversary of the Christmas Tree Lot, Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade will host a grand opening ribbon-cutting ceremony on Monday, November 24th at 4:00 p.m. Miami dignitaries, Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade board members, representatives from Thoma Bravo, youth members and Santa Claus himself will attend to celebrate the most wonderful time of the year.

All Fraser fir trees are hand-selected by Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade’s President Alex Rodriguez-Roig in North Carolina and stand 5-feet to 14-feet tall with a starting price of $65. Poinsettias will also be available starting at $15. Shoppers will also have the opportunity to Sponsor-A-Child to help make a positive impact in the life of a Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade youth member.

The Thoma Bravo Christmas Tree Lot will be open on Thanksgiving Day as well as Black Friday. Every Black Friday, Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade sells a tree on average every 63 seconds.
