Safe Haven for Cats Tree
Safe Haven for Cats takes home the top prize in the 2nd Annual Triangle Christmas Tree Challenge at American Tobacco.

Safe Haven for Cats was named the winner of the 2nd Annual Triangle Christmas Tree Challenge Thursday, December 22, 2011.

The challenge, at Durham’s American Tobacco Campus, asked the public to vote on 59 trees decorated by area non-profit groups. More than 20,000 voters were cast – online and via text message – and Safe Haven for Cats came out on top. The organization wins a $5,000 donation.
