We are coordinating the shared gift of a hardy sized Treebute tree for Pete & Ann Mikolajczak in remembrance of Max. Memorial trees are an environmentally positive way to honor the sacred memory of our loved ones with their strength, beauty, and quiet presence. An Eastern Redbud tree with heart-shaped foliage has been selected. Sale proceeds from these ‘Trees with Heart’ benefit The Ollie Hinkle Heart Foundation and the SADS Foundation. Treebute will coordinate everything from start-to-finish, including the hardy-sized tree’s delivery and professional installation in their yard. The gift will also include a slow-release watering bag to help this long-lasting tribute get established.
Once this private campaign has been fully funded, Treebute will ship a Care Package to the Mikolajczak’s containing a letter identifying each of you as contributors to this collective gift, a booklet detailing the next steps, a yard stake to mark the spot, and a questionnaire so we know where to plant. As contributors, you will receive occasional updates through this format, including a photo of your tree gift after it has been planted in its new home.
Planting tribute trees has long been a beloved family tradition of ours and a gentle way of keeping a loved one’s memory close. Treebute is our solution for making these special gifts more accessible and hassle-free. We hope this tree serves as a reminder of the many friends who love and support them and brings Pete & Ann healing and comfort for years to come.
Welcome to the Treebute family.
Warmly,
Elizabeth & Brian Schenk

UPDATE: Your collective outpouring of love and generosity has well-exceeded the goal amount for a hardy-sized Eastern Redbud ‘Tree with Heart’. As such, we will ask Ann & Pete to dictate where to apply the excess funds. Options include:
- planting a second Treebute tree at another property of their choosing (ie: Max’s school, relative’s home, or another meaningful place for them),
- adding garden accessories (ie: bench, engraved plaque, windchime, bird bath, etc.) to accompany their tree gift,
- or donating to Ollie Hinkle Heart Foundation / the SADS Foundation – the charitable recipients of Treebute’s ‘Trees with Heart’.
