ICARE fundraiser on Friday

Donations are welcome for the fourth annual “Crab Fest” and auction planned Friday by the ICARE Children and Family Advocacy Center at The Coeur d’Alene Resort.

The event aims to raise funds and awareness for the organization dedicated to reducing child abuse and neglect and strengthening families in North Idaho.

The Crab Fest will feature a crab dinner and dessert, plus a live and silent auction. Donations for both auctions are needed.

Donations include a night’s stay at the River Dance Lodge and a float trip on the middle fork of the Clearwater River; two ski lift tickets to Silver Mountain, a two-night stay at the Baymont Inn and Suites and gift certificates for restaurants; two season tickets to Coeur d’Alene Summer Theatre; two season tickets to University of Idaho football; and a Jamis Cruiser juvenile bike, helmet and $50 gift certificate from Mountain View Cyclery.

Founded 10 years ago, ICARE works with high-risk parents to strengthen their skills and break the cycle of child abuse and neglect.
