HELPFUL HAPPY HOUR SUCCESS – MAYOR BIETER TO SHAVE HIS HEAD OCTOBER 2
The first annual Helpful Happy Hour was attended by over 300. The Happy Hour included music by Brandon Pritchett, a lively auction by Larry Flynn, great food provided by Papa Joes and most importantly the success of raising over $25,000. You got it, Mayor Bieter is going bald. Mark your calendars for October 2, 2009 at 3pm to watch Mayor Dave Bieter have his head of lustrous locks shaved by one of Camp Rainbow Gold's campers.
Raising the $25,000 was a challenge but as the presenter of the event Allied Business Solution's Tom Beeles stated "not near the challenge that these children deal with when diagnosed with cancer. Though it is a bonus that Mayor Bieter will have his head shaved what really feels good is that due to the generosity shown by our community a ropes course will be built for the incredible children that attend Camp Rainbow Gold."
Camp Rainbow Gold is an American Cancer Society program providing a variety of activities and events for Idahoan children and their families. Free to participants, Camp Rainbow Gold hosts three separate summer camps, family gatherings at sporting events, activity days, support groups, a college scholarship program, and referral services. The non-profit got its start twenty-five years ago as one of the nation's first oncology camps and it continues today to highlight the lives of hundreds of Idaho residents.
