Does the Coast Guard buy the trees?
No. The Chicago Christmas Ship Executive Committee raises the funds to purchase the trees through donations from the Chicago marine community and other supporters. The volunteer efforts of the men and women of the US Coast Guard, the Coast Guard Auxiliary, and particularly the officers and Crew of the Cutter Mackinaw are a greatly appreciated indispensable component of this operation.
