Here are pictures from decorating the Chanukah display at the R.P. Funding Center. This is part of the 2nd annual tree decorating contest to benefit the United Way. Thanks to Allen, Jodie, and Shelley for setting it up! Stop by and see it in person!

The RP Funding Center is hosting its 2nd Annual City of Lakeland Holiday Tree Decorating Contest benefiting United Way of Central Florida!

Last year, with only city departments participating, 14 trees lined the halls of the RP Funding Center, adding holiday cheer while also creating unity. The competition was close but Lakeland Linder International Airport came out on top as the 1st place winner. Last year the City of Lakeland raised $92,080.44 for United Way of Central Florida.

This year, the RP Funding Center is extending an invitation to other businesses and organizations to become a part of this new tradition. This provides companies an opportunity to show their creativity, promote their brand and raise money for the United Way in a unique way.

The contest will take place at the RP Funding Center from November 20 thru December 31. Public welcome to view the trees in our corridors and vote during RPFC business hours: 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.
