UPPER MERION — Five local animal rescues are again joining together for this exciting two-day “PHestivaL,” to get into the holiday spirit and raise funds for local animal shelters. The third annual PHestivaL of Trees is a holiday-themed family experience featuring uniquely decorated holiday trees, adoptable rescue pets, and Santa. The event will be held in the Pavilion section at the King of Prussia Mall on December 3rd and 4th.
Last year, more than 150 trees were decorated and sold to generate $48,000 distributed between eight local animal rescues. Each of the rescues ended up receiving $6,000 which for some allowed them to double their operating budget. The trees will be decorated by individuals, businesses, and organizations with the goal to raise more funds for the animal rescue partners through increased attendance and engagement. This is something for adults and children; the adoptable rescue pets from the local shelters and rescues are the event stars.
The five animal rescues joining together this year include:
Hart 2 Heart
Finding Shelter Animal Rescue
Senior Dog Haven & Hospice
Lucky You!
Animal House Project
Besides ACME Markets, PHestivaL of Trees has some new partners this year, United Healthcare, Metropolitan Veterinary Associates, and Planet Fitness who value its mission to support local animal rescues and shelters.
The 2022 PHestivaL of Trees will be held December 3rd & 4th in the Pavilion section at the King of Prussia Mall in King of Prussia.

“We are pleased we are continuing PHestivaL of Trees again in 2022. Each year as we discuss the status of this fundraising event, we are reminded by our animal rescue partners how much this event means to them” said BJ Zellers, event organizer and President of Marketing by TKE. She added, “We believe the location change, reducing entry fees, and simplifying the format with just the decorated trees, Santa and adoptable pets will help us meet our goals of increased participation and attendance. This will in turn raise more funds for animal shelters and rescues at a time when funding sources are still essential to underwriting the great work they do.”
