Westfield Students Helping Recycle Christmas Trees For A Cause

Your help could give music students lasting memories.

WESTFIELD, NJ — Your symbol of holiday cheer can help the members of one local Westfield organization reach their goals for months or even years down the road.

The Westfield High School Band and Choir is holding a recycling fundraiser for residents' Christmas trees. The trees will be taken to a conservation center for a fee that will be used to help support the students.

Each $22 fee will go towards buying music, paying clinic fees, and funding other outings for the band and choir.
