Over a dozen beautiful designer Christmas trees, and dozens of items in the silent and live auctions were available for bid. One of those trees was created in memory of IECN’s late co-publisher Diana Macias Harrison. Designed by Valerie Elkins and coordinated by Gloria Macias Harrison and Sylvia Barrera, the rose gold tree received the most raffles.

All proceeds benefit Santa Claus Inc. to support its Christmas and year-round services to underprivileged youth in the greater San Bernardino area that include Highland, Colton, Fontana, Ontario, Redlands and other surrounding areas.
