Celebrating a Healthy Mind, Community Spirit & Planet

FireTree Symbolic Features:

• Tree........................represents    the communities of the world.
• Leaf.........................represents    the individual within every community.
• Sun..........................represents    the light that nurtures our tree and powers the planet.
• Leaf Canopy........represents    the neighborhood created by residents who work and grow together.
• Wheeled Car......represents    the planet Earth.
• Fire and Light.....represent    the energy and power of creative ideas.
• Celebration.........represents    our shared appreciation for all the positive and equitable qualities of our community, plus our creative ability to be good stewards of that environment.
• As a metaphor, FireTree is a local investment in a global concept for communities worldwide, who share similar histories of birth, growth, and the demands of change and sustainability.

The FireTree depicts a healthy community that stands tall, gaining 

strength from its individual “leaves,” who celebrate united 

in a fire-powered event of neighborhood achievement and creativity.

*The tax deductibility of your contribution may be affected by goods or services received. Please contact your financial advisor with questions regarding your donation. 

We’re ready to build it, burn it, and celebrate!

Construction will take place in three stages (cart, trunk, and canopy) and will be dependent upon money raised.

If we surpass our goal…. we will live-stream the Fire Celebration so that everyone can participate in this first-burn of the FireTree!

Join us on Saturday, September 22

 at nightfall in Millvale’s Riverfront Park along the banks of the Allegheny River

 as the Community Fire Celebration becomes the featured evening event of SculptureFest 2018,

Pittsburgh’s only sculpture demonstration arts festival,  www.PittsburghSculptureFest.com

In this complex world, often full of strife and discord, do we need to be reminded of the obvious?

Under one sun, our community and planet are the tree we live in.

Let's celebrate that tree and keep it strong by being engaged and creative with our neighbors in both our local and global back yards.

"This could be the most exciting new event of the summer!"

Are you ready to join our community?
