Grandview’s biggest fundraiser of the year is the Gift Card Tree Raffle at the annual Melrose Street Fair. This will be the 9th year for the Gift Card Tree with last year raising just over $2,000.
The Grandview Neighborhood Association Board, along with a team from the neighborhood, will ask local businesses to donate a gift card or two for the Gift Card Tree.
