Recycle Your X-mas Tree, Show Support
Primary Colours is pleased to announce a partnership with the Governor Bob Orr Indiana Entrepreneurial Fellowship and their annual holiday fundraiser, Tree Luggers.
In an effort to raise money for the Fellowship, local churches, and local charitable organizations–including Primary Colours–current Orr Fellows will be picking up Christmas trees from houses and transporting them to nearby Indy Parks locations where they will be recycled into mulch.
Just think: You don’t have to mess with needles and sap in your car, and you can help support two great local organizations!
Tree Luggers will be servicing neighborhoods on the near north side of Indianapolis, including Meridian-Kessler, Butler-Tarkington, Broad Ripple, Carmel, and Fishers.
So how do I sign-up?!
- If paying via credit card, check, or cash please go to www.treeluggers.org to complete the necessary materials.
- If paying by check or cash, please call Katie Veatch at (317) 396-9107 to leave a detailed message with your name, address, phone number, email address, and the date you want your tree picked up. On the pick-up day, leave your donation in a zip-lock bag under the doormat or in your mailbox and we will leave a receipt in the same location.
When registering for pick-up, please mention that you learned of the fundraiser through Primary Colours. By doing so, you’ll ensure that half of your donation will be shared with Primary Colours. Although not required, the recommended donation for pick-up is $20. All donations to Primary Colours and Tree Luggers are 100% tax deductible. On your pick-up day, please leave your undecorated tree at the curb before noon.
About the Orr Fellowship
The Orr Fellowship is a two-year professional program designed to combat “brain drain” in Indiana by placing the state’s top college graduates with high growth, entrepreneurial companies in central Indiana. Tree Luggers raised $4,000 last year, but with great support from the Indianapolis community, they believe they can double that amount this year for the Orr Fellowship and other charitable organizations in the community.
