Meanwhile local golf pro Austin Westphal recently joined three others to complete a 100-hole golf marathon at Avondale Golf Club.
The inaugural 100-Hole Marathon for charity raised more than $2,500 for KHS.
Westphal completed the epic adventure in under 12 hours.
Each one raised money for different charities. Austin picked KHS because of his love of animals.
“You are all amazing!” KHS wrote to Westphal and friends who raised funds for other nonprofits. “Thank you so much for supporting our community.”
KHS has raised nearly $4.9 million toward its goal of $6.5 million to build a new 24,000-square-foot shelter west of the Coeur d’Alene Airport on Atlas Road.
