Event to benefit Kirk family

COEUR d'ALENE - An event to raise money for the family of Jeffrey P. Kirk will be held at 5 p.m. Sept. 11, at O'Shays, 313 E. Coeur d'Alene Lake Drive.

Kirk died as the result of a traffic accident when another driver struck his vehicle at the intersection of Honeysuckle Avenue and U.S. 95 in June.

Kirk's daughter Kiahna first made headlines when she hosted a lemonade stand in May for fallen Coeur d'Alene Police Sgt. Greg Moore. Kiahna raised $200 for Moore's family, then days later found out her own father died.

The event will feature live music, a beer garden, barbecue and a silent auction. All proceeds will go directly to the Wells Fargo Bank account created for Kirk's three children. For more information or to donate goods for the auction, contact Joe Kresge (208) 659-2250.
