c-11 Apple Giving Tree

Apple Giving Tree DonationAdd your name to our Apple Giving Tree!
The idea for the "Apple Giving Tree" stems from the large apple orchard which was behind Cottage 11 on the State School grounds. Your donations, whether specified or not, continue to help us tell the story of the orphanage and are greatly appreciated. Thank you to everyone who has and continues to help fund this important historical project!

Make a donation to Cottage 11 to have your name or a loved one's displayed on our Apple Giving Tree in the C-11 Gift Shop! Apple colors are determined as follows:

Donation Level Color of Apple
$1,000 + >>Red
$500-$999 >>Gold
$250-$499 >>Green
$100-$249 >>Silver
