Quest Summer Day Camp 2022, administered by the Coeur d'Alene Church of the Nazarene, received $1,000 from the Windermere Foundation to provide scholarships to children of low-income families to attend the Quest Summer Day Camp in 2022. Camps, such as Quest, contribute positively to the child's social and emotional development, as well giving the parents a relief knowing their child is in a safe and fun place to play.

The North Idaho Fair & Rodeo Foundation accepted a check from the Blake Webb Safety Awareness Foundation (BWSAF) in the amount of $5,150 for purchase of a table to be placed on the fairground property for additional seating during the annual fair and events throughout the year. The BWSAF chose the fair property to honor their son Blake Webb, who died in a motocross accident in 2007. The foundation purchases safety awareness equipment and provides education to tracks throughout the country. Additionally, they have given to families experiencing hardships and charitable organizations from proceeds raised at their rummage sale held annually. Under the recently launched "Bench and Table Program," Co-Chaired by Gayle Stegmann and Rachel Peters, donors can purchase a bench or table and have their business or individual’s names noted. For an additional $150, a plaque remembering a loved one or the like can be placed on the equipment. You may also choose from one of three different locations at the fairgrounds. We are seeking additional donors.
