Being separated from loved ones during the holidays is one of the most trying times for military members and their families.
While no substitute for togetherness, our Trees for Troops program gives just a little joy to service members and their families during Christmas.

Welcome! The Christmas SPIRIT Foundation is committed to keeping the spirit of Christmas alive and growing memories for the next generation of children and families. We are a 501(c)3 public charity. Your charitable contribution will help needy children and families in the United States during the holiday season, and promote environmental stewardship throughout the year.
Thank you for your support, and MERRY CHRISTMAS!
The Christmas Spirit Foundation (CSF) is offering a unique reward to its supporters. New Holland has donated a New Holland Boomer TZ18 Subcompact Tractor with snowplow to the Foundation. The tractor is wrapped in the theme from the Christmas movie, The Polar Express and is valued at $14,000 (before the wrap). There are only two of these Polar Express tractors in the world, and this one could be yours!
CSF is rewarding its supporters by entering donor's names in the drawing, once for every $20 donated. The donations are used to help spread the Spirit of Christmas for Kids, Families and the environment -- specifically to send real Christmas trees to our troops and their families and put age-appropriate books into the hands of underprivileged children.
Imagine the attention you would get from owning this unique tractor. Or, if you own a business, imagine the PR value! You could show it off in parades, at fairs, stage photo ops at your business location and post the photos on your web site. You'd be the talk of the town!
Just click on the Donate Now button (on the upper right of this page) and make a donation of $20 or more and you will automatically be entered into the drawing. If you wish to donate and not be entered into the drawing, please make your donation in the usual way and also send an e-mail to fischer@drake.com letting her know that you do not wish to be entered into the drawing.
The New Holland tractor will be given away on August 31, 2009 or when CSF reaches 5,000 entries -- whichever is sooner. In any case, your donation goes to a great cause. Ninety-five percent of all donations go directly to the CSF's programs. We are a 501(c)(3) charity and a member of America Supports You and the Combined Federal Campaign.
CSF thanks New Holland Agriculture for its generous donation of this tractor/snow plow.
The reeling U.S. economy is taking a toll on Christmas Spirit, according to a new Spirit Index survey Harris Interactive conducted on behalf of the Christmas SPIRIT Foundation. Though Spirit hasn't declined nearly as much as the DOW.
With your donations, Foundation programs support children, families and the environment. Programs include: developing online curriculum for teachers, contributing to camps that host underprivileged or ill children, hurricane relief, recycling programs and Trees for Troops.
