Boise Life - Annual Fundraiser
This Thursday, celebrate the New Year while connecting with
community-minded citizens. Boise
Life, a community-based website, is hosting a New Years Eve party at the Rose
Room from 9pm to 2am.
With the motto “Enjoy, Serve, Learn”, BoiseLife.org covers
information ranging from events to recreation tips and is an online resource to
learn about local service projects.
They host a monthly service outreach program called BoiseLife Days, and
have done projects ranging from cleaning up TableRock to delivering bicycles to
the Boise’s refugee population.
All proceeds from the party will go towards Boise Life’s goal of opening a physical volunteer center. The facility would match the needs of nonprofits with the skills and interests of individual volunteers, serving as a hub for volunteers and nonprofit organizations to partner and share resources.
Tickets to the party are $25 per person and include 2 drink tickets and light appetizers. Attendees are encouraged, but not required, to dress as their favorite decade. Tickets are available through BoiseLife.org or through The Costume Shop and Jenny’s Lunch Line.

Camp Rainbow Gold - Super Bowl Raffle
Take a chance at winning a dream trip to the Super Bowl while scoring big for children and families dealing with cancer. Camp Rainbow Gold is hosting a raffle drawing for two tickets to Super Bowl XLIV in Miami, FL.
This Thursday, Camp Rainbow Gold will draw its raffle winner of two Super Bowl tickets, plus airfare for two and two nights’ double-occupancy hotel accommodations for the February 7, 2010 game.
Raffle tickets are $10 per ticket and may be purchased by calling 422-0176 or by visiting any Banner Bank in the Treasure Valley or the Camp Rainbow Gold Office at 2676 S. Vista Ave. in Boise on a weekday between 8:30am and 4:30pm. The winner need not be present at the drawing on New Year’s Eve.
All proceeds from the raffle will benefit Camp Rainbow Gold, an American Cancer Society program that supports Idaho’s children battling cancer and their families.
Camp Rainbow Gold began as one week of summer camp for children living with cancer in Idaho. It has grown to provide year-round support and fostering for both these patients and their families through programs such as Sibling Camp, Family Camp, hockey nights, football nights, ski days, teen support groups, and a college scholarship fund.
