AWARE’s Festival of Trees: A Liberty Place Legacy


About the Event

The Festival of Trees is more than a gala—it’s a statement of compassion and community. For many residents, Medicaid only goes so far. Your support helps bridge the gap, funding programs that promote:

  • Lifelong learning opportunities beyond traditional therapies
  • Inclusive community activities and recreation
  • Ongoing skill-building and personal growth
  • Encouragement, care, and belonging

Together, we are building brighter futures—supporting survivors of brain injury while also connecting Montanans of all ages and abilities with essential care and services.

Through AWARE, families statewide have access to:

  • Behavioral Health Services
  • Early Childhood Programs
  • Case Management & Advocacy
  • Residential & Community Living Supports
  • Employment Readiness & Supported Employment
  • Psychiatry, Wellness, & Therapeutic Recreation

By joining with AWARE, we are honoring the tradition and legacy of Liberty Place while expanding its impact across Montana.
