More than 100 years ago, former Kansas City Mayor George Shelley began the Mayor’s Christmas Tree tradition, bringing together Kansas Citians from around our community to decorate a Christmas tree and raise money for families in need.
Since then, KC’s mayors have kept the tradition alive, celebrating the arrival of the 100-foot-tall tree — one of the largest Christmas trees in the country — and raising funds for the Mayor’s Christmas Tree Fund to support thousands of families during the holidays. I look forward to the holiday cheer the Mayor’s Christmas Tree Lighting brings to so many in our community each year.
