They’re creepy and they’re kooky,
Mysterious and spooky,
They’re all together ooky,
The GiftTree Family.
That should be our anthem for the Halloween holiday here at GiftTree!

Recently I had the awesome opportunity to join some of my co-workers on the Susan G. Komen Race For the Cure in Portland, Oregon and I can’t begin to describe to you the impact that such an event had on me. I was inspired, touched, saddened, elated and above all honored, to be among the [...]
