Spreading Holiday Cheer through Dartmouth’s Buoy Christmas Tree

The annual buoy tree is back and all lit up at Padanaram Village in Dartmouth, with plenty of buoys remaining to purchase.

Individuals and businesses have decorated buoys that'll be auctioned and sold online throughout December.

The donated proceeds will go towards the Friends of Jack Foundation to help provide programs for kids in the hospital coping with medical treatment across Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

While the holiday season is still among us, the Christmas tree buoy is another fun way to make a slight difference this year by donating to a local charity. Plus, you might win yourself a handmade decorated buoy as a result.

We shared some of our favorite buoys that are still available, but you can bid on these and many others on the website.
