RAFFLE: Thanks for supporting programs

I just wanted to send a big THANK YOU to PARKER TOYOTA. Every year Parker Toyota donates a pickup to be raffled off at the Coeur d'Alene-Lake City football game in October. The students go around to the community and sell tickets for a chance to win the pickup.

When the kids sell a ticket, the proceeds go directly into the program or account of that student. It could be softball, baseball, choir and for us now cheerleading. The costs are not cheap to be a part of these programs. This donation helps the kids be a part of a program that they otherwise would not be able to afford.

Having had, and still have kids in sports programs at Lake City High School, we (she) have benefited. She was able to pay her whole cheerleading fees by selling these tickets as for many of the other girls also. So, thank you to all the community that bought a ticket from these kids. And again a BIG THANK YOU to PARKER TOYOTA for caring about our kids, schools and our community.
