Founded in 1978, Together We Initiate Growth and Sharing (TWIGS) is a network of non-profit volunteer groups that supports and serves Le Bonheur Children's Medical Center through fund-raising, health advocacy and promotional events.
TWIGS chapters, located throughout Memphis and the surrounding region, are formed through neighborhoods, companies or groups with similar interests. Each chapter has its own unique identity with neighbors and friends sharing the joy of working together and the satisfaction of knowing they are helping the more than 130,000 children who are treated annually at Le Bonheur.
The TWIGS have raised over $3.8 million dollars for Le Bonheur and have also raised over $500,000 for the expansion of Le Bonheur. TWIGS primary focus is raising funds for the children of Le Bonheur. The TWIGS have a spring fund-raiser and each year TWIG members unite together during the holidays to produce the Enchanted Forest Festival of Trees.
The Enchanted Forest Festival of Trees is a winter wonderland holiday event held at the Pink Palace Museum, featuring a Preview Party, Daddy Daughter Dance, Storytime with Santa and Senior Day. The Enchanted Forest Festival of Trees is a magical event, which has become a Mid-South tradition.
