The National Cherry Blossom Festival Will MATCH ALL GIFTS this spring up to $25,000!

In celebration of President and CEO Diana Mayhew’s 25th year, the National Cherry Blossom Festival Board of Directors will match the first $25,000 raised to preserve the beloved cherry trees generations to come. Your gift will be doubled!

A MESSAGE FROM FESTIVAL PRESIDENT DIANA MAYHEW:

As I embark on my 25th year with the Festival, I am reflecting on the incredible journey of the Festival since the original gift of the trees in 1912 from Japan, and the millions of amazing people that have been drawn by their beauty, their message of renewal, and the celebration that holds their annual transformation at its center. 

If the Festival and the iconic trees have touched your heart, reconnected with your friends or family, or drawn you closer to our unique community, we encourage you to support our mission of sustaining the trees by making a donation at any monetary level that you can. Your donation will support the Trust for the National Mall's Cherry Tree Endowment, in partnership with the National Park Service to care for the trees.

Thank you for your support! 

Diana Mayhew
President and CEO
