2024 World’s Largest Origami Tree “Tree of Hope” (Grace Cathedral)

Grace Cathedral

Grace Cathedral is partnering with Rainbow World Fund again this year to decorate the most unique holiday tree in the world (see below for how you can help!).

The Rainbow World Fund (RWF) World Tree of Hope ® is the largest origami decorated holiday tree in the world, traditionally standing over 23 feet tall and decorated with over 17,000 origami cranes and stars each hand folded and inscribed with wishes for the future of the world. In 2024, due to time restrictions we will create a 15 foot tall tree decorated with over 10,000 origami cranes and stars in the AIDS Memorial Chapel of Grace Cathedral.

The RWF World Tree of Hope is created each year as a symbol of global unity to promote peace, love and humanitarianism. The Tree is created by Rainbow World Fund as a gift from the LGBTQ and friends community to the world. The Tree will be displayed at Grace Cathedral in San Francisco from December 1, 2024 to January 4, 2025. This year mark’s the seventeenth anniversary of the Tree.

Rainbow World Fund invites you to the 19th Annual RWF World Tree Lighting Celebration.
The Grammy Award winning San Francisco Boys Chorus ● Emcee Donna Sachet ● The Very Rev. Malcolm Young ● Lerberta Loral ● Tammy Lynne Hall ● Origami Artist Linda Mihara ● RWF Founder Jeff Cotter ● The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence will bless the tree ● and much more!
WHEN: MONDAY, December 9, 2024 • 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m.
WHERE: Grace Cathedral, 1100 California St, San Francisco
