Festival of Trees expands with wreaths

The Kootenai Health Foundation Festival of Trees is celebrating its 37th year with a wreath raffle program.

From Monday to Nov. 26, decorated wreaths will be on display in the lobbies of three local Mountain West Bank locations. Each wreath is crafted by volunteers. Visitors can purchase raffle tickets for $5 using a convenient QR code available at each location or at kh.org/festival/wreathraffle.

“We’re thrilled to introduce the wreath raffle as a fun new way to celebrate the season and engage our community,” said Cara Nielsen, President of the Kootenai Health Foundation. “Each wreath is a beautiful expression of holiday spirit and generosity, and we’re so grateful to our volunteers and Mountain West Bank for helping bring this idea to life. Every ticket purchased helps support the vital work of Kootenai Health, and we can’t wait to see the joy these wreaths bring to our community.”

The Kootenai Health Foundation team will deliver the wreaths to the bank branches Monday. After Nov. 26, the wreaths will be moved to the Festival of Trees event at The Coeur d’Alene Resort, where raffle tickets will be available.
