Providence O’Christmas Trees has always championed the best of Providence’s Mission by supporting many critical and underfunded ministries in our area. We are pleased to announce that in 2025, we are sharpening our focus on the continuum of services that support seniors in King County.  

All funds raised will go toward: 
Supportive Housing
ElderPlace/PACE
Providence Mount St. Vincent

We are thrilled to welcome Pallavi Mehta Wahi and Ash Wahi back as Event Chairs for the 2025 Providence O’Christmas Trees gala. Their vision and commitment to community health will drive our most impactful fundraiser yet. 

A respected civic leader and lawyer, Pallavi has championed initiatives that widen access to healthcare, elevate diverse voices in leadership, and forge strong nonprofit partnerships.  She currently serves on the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco’s board and formerly chaired the Seattle Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce Board. Her prior board service with the Woodland Park Zoo, Seattle Rep, and the King County Bar Foundation underscores her lifelong dedication to building healthier, more inclusive communities. Ash Wahi is an entrepreneur who combines innovative thinking with a deep commitment to service. He is the CEO of an AI technology company helping small businesses across our region embrace the power of artificial intelligence. Ash also serves as a Commissioner on the Seattle Sports Commission. They are honored to return as gala chairs and looks forward to supporting Providence’s mission to provide vital patient programs across Washington. “Our family is honored to advance Providence’s mission of compassionate, equitable care,” Pallavi says.
“Supporting this work is one small way we can help close the gaps in our community.” Join us in celebrating their leadership—and in ensuring Providence continues to provide outstanding care for everyone who calls Washington home.

Since 2000, O'Christmas Trees has raised over $17 million to help fund charity care and the invaluable services within King County ministries.

This year, our goal is to raise $1.65 million to support these ministries. The annual Providence O'Christmas Trees event is attended by Providence supporters, partners, and leaders from across our health system. It directly benefits the Providence mission and the patients and families we serve.

Our three-day celebration includes our free Family Preview on Monday, December 1; the Silver Bells Luncheon on Tuesday, December 2; and culminates with our Gala Dinner & Auction on Wednesday, December 3. More information coming soon!
