COEUR d’ALENE — Le Peep restaurant, 1884 Bellerive Lane, will host the annual Breakfast with Santa fundraiser Saturday to benefit Halo’s One Hope.
From 9 a.m. until noon 25% of sales will benefit the group. The jolly pair, Mr. and Mrs. Claus, will be there.
Halo’s One Hope supports local families newly diagnosed with diabetes and helps with community education.
Children with diabetes are frequently misdiagnosed, and the adjustment to treatment can be a lot to handle, said Lyndsey Neufeld, secretary for Halo’s One Hope and the mother of a 15-year-old with Type 1 diabetes.
Neufeld’s daughter, Hailie Velasco was diagnosed at eight years old and now uses a diabetic alert dog, Rory.
Velasco practices martial arts and is in pursuit of her third-degree black belt in Taekwondo.
The fundraiser will also take place Dec. 18.
