The Greater East Dallas Chamber of Commerce (GEDCC) partnered with EDENS and Casa Linda Plaza for the annual tree lighting and holiday party held Monday, December 4, 2023 at Casa Linda Plaza. The event was organized by the chamber’s Live Local Committee and the EDENS team.

Over 1,000 friends and neighbors gathered for an evening of fun, with local choirs performing holiday classics, a petting zoo, train rides, ice arena, photos with Santa and more.

Proceeds from the event benefited Well Grounded Coffee Community, a local coffee shop and non-profit whose mission is to transform lives through a process of work, education, community and faith. A $10,000 check from EDENS and GEDCC was presented to Well Grounded’s founder, Natalie Huscheck, to help support their efforts.
