Riverwood Baseball Now Taking Online Christmas Tree Orders

SANDY SPRINGS, GA — Riverwood International Charter School’s baseball team has launched its annual Christmas tree fundraiser for its program. Customers can order trees online for the 2018 holiday season.

After placing an order, customers can choose their Fraser Fir selection at the school's tree lot Nov. 23-26 or team members can select a tree for them.

"For over 20 years, Riverwood Baseball has been selling the finest Christmas Trees in Sandy Springs," said Riverwood Baseball Coach Trey Henson. "We have many customers who have been with us for all of those twenty years. That says a lot about the quality and service our players and families strive to provide. We are quite a local tradition."

Riverwood baseball players and parents volunteer at the tree lot, helping customers select the trees that they
ordered, fresh-cutting the trunks, and loading them onto cars and trucks. They also deliver trees for a small fee. Unlike in the past, Riverwood does not anticipate having inventory to sell to walk-up customers this year.

Trees can be picked up at Riverwood International Charter School at 5900 Raider Drive in Sandy Springs. Riverwood’s Lady Raider Softball Team is also selling fresh wreaths with hand-tied bows, which also can be ordered online.

The Riverwood Raider Baseball Christmas Tree Sale is a decades-old fundraiser for the public school’s baseball program, which has seen 15 visits to the state playoffs and boasts a number of alumni on college and Major League Baseball teams.

Trees will be available for selection and pick up starting Friday, Nov. 23 and continuing through Monday, Nov. 26. Purchasers are encouraged to come early for the best selection.
