Hoffman Wellness Collective Launches “Frosty Forest” Fundraiser to Support
Community Wellness Programs

ILION, NY — Hoffman Wellness Collective (HWC) is launching its first-ever Frosty Forest Fundraiser, a new annual tradition created to bring the community together in celebration while raising vital support for local wellness initiatives.

Debuting this year, Frosty Forest will transform the municipal building auditorium into a winter wonderland featuring themed holiday trees and raffle items. Guests will have the opportunity to stroll through a sparkling display of trees decorated and sponsored by local businesses and organizations, bid on unique holiday items, and experience a warm, family-friendly seasonal event.

“As this is our first year hosting Frosty Forest, we’re incredibly excited to introduce a new event to the community”,  said Liz Hoffman, Co-Founder of Hoffman Wellness Collective. “This project reflects the heart of our mission—bringing people together, creating joy, and supporting programs that strengthen wellness for families in our community. We have partnered with local businesses Shook. and Franco’s Pizza to create an event that everyone in our community can enjoy!”

Proceeds from the inaugural event will fund HWC’s programs, including community fitness and wellness initiatives: the Go & Grow Summer program, the Ready to Ride bike program, and training/events supporting the mental and physical well-being of first responders in the Mohawk Valley.

Event Highlights Include:

• Themed holiday trees available for raffle
