Florida Trust Wealth Management sponsors CHR's 2025 Festival of Trees

SANIBEL ISLAND, Fla. - EntSun -- Florida Trust Wealth Management proudly served as a "Magical Winter Wonderland" sponsor for Community Housing & Resources (CHR) 2025 Festival of Trees, which took place the week before Thanksgiving at Sanibel Community House.

The beloved annual fundraiser brought the community together to celebrate the start of the holiday season while raising support for CHR's mission to provide and sustain affordable housing for island residents — including seniors, families and essential workers. Guests enjoyed 20 beautifully decorated trees and 18 wreaths, spirited bidding during both live and silent auctions and a paddle raise supporting CHR's Riverview housing project.

The Riverview housing project will consist of 15 one bedroom, one bath apartments when completed.

Al Hanser, founder and chairman of Florida Trust Wealth Management, shared his appreciation for CHR's role in the community. "CHR is a cornerstone of Sanibel and Captiva's long-term strength," he said. "We were honored to support an organization that provides stability and opportunity for the people who make our islands thrive."
