This donation will ensure that ornaments are delivered to Sacramento. 
 
For more than two decades, individuals who have a developmental disability have created
ornaments to adorn the Christmas tree at the State Capitol. In recent years, they have received
hundreds of ornaments from regional center community art programs. The Department of
Developmental Services (DDS) has been asked again to participate in the official State Capitol
Tree Lighting Ceremony, and we are requesting ornaments from the community.
The tree lighting ceremony will take place the first week of December. As in previous years, a
child with a developmental disability will participate in an evening ceremony with Governor
Gavin Newsom and First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom, but this year the event is going to
be virtual.

To be included on the tree, all ornaments must be received at DDS headquarters by Monday,
November 16, 2020. If you have questions, please contact
Amy Wall, Assistant Deputy Director of External and Public Affairs, at (916) 869-8833 or
amy.wall@dds.ca.gov.
