Tinsel & Treasures History
September 23-25, 2010 is the Junior League of Lafayette's 17th Annual Tinsel & Treasures Holiday Market! In the past sixteen years, this event has raised over 2 million dollars, which has been used to provide financial support for the Junior League of Lafayette and its mission to promote voluntarism, develop the potential of women, and improve the community through the effective action and leadership of trained volunteers. Community projects benefiting from these funds in the past include the Acadiana Arts Council, the University Museum, Junior Symphony, The Family Tree, Hospice of Acadiana, The Volunteer Center, Boys and Girls Club, Boy Scouts, Junior Achievement, Salvation Army, Junior Quiz Bowl, Meals on Wheels, No Fear No Future, VITA, and many others. Tinsel & Treasures, which was introduced in 1994, has been a premier social and economic event for the Junior League of Lafayette and the community. This event, which is our largest Junior League fundraiser, requires the participation of all active and provisional Junior League members. But the help of our sustainers through the years has also been crucial to its success.
Occurring at the end of September each year, Tinsel & Treasures gives shoppers a truly one-stop-shopping experience. Shoppers have the opportunity to shop for all their holiday needs early and under one roof. The categories of boutique-like shops include those that specialize in jewelry, food gifts, toys, home décor, apparel and much more!
