Upcoming Event! Innovia Foundation Supports Holocaust Survivor Film Screening and Q&A in CdA

As a teenager in Amsterdam, Carla Peperzak risked everything to aid fellow Jews, forging ID cards and providing shelter from the brutal N**i regime and their collaborators. Today, the 101-year-old holocaust survivor continues to share her heartbreaking experiences to speak out against injustice and deliver a message of hope.

On Sunday, September 21st, The Kroc Center in Coeur d’Alene is hosting a community screening of the documentary Carla the Rescuer. The film portrays Carla’s early life during the holocaust. Carla, the namesake of Peperzak Middle School in Spokane, will attend the event in-person to engage in a live Q&A session with the audience after the film.

Another way to help the families impacted by the Canfield Mountain incident. We love how much the community comes out to help when it's needed! Thank you all, and keep loving on these families!

From Jeremy McComb:
"There are a lot of moving parts getting everything ready to go and scheduled out, it's a big undertaking but we have a great team putting things together. We are working on the preliminary schedule for the day of the Benefit and will have that announced Friday. We are also lining out Job needs for the MANY people who have reached out wanting to volunteer. It's incredible to see how many people want to help and be part of this, obviously there are constraints on time and how many people we can put on each stage. We're so grateful for the outpouring from all the artists and bands wanting to perform and show their support. It's been very difficult to figure out how many we can fit in the day. So thank you to everyone for your patience an understanding. even if you're not performing, we will be reading off the names of bands who offered to perform and we'd still love to see everyone out here to support the community and these families.
Also, We wanted to make it very clear where the donations would be going as it's very important to all of us that this benefit runs full transparency and all donations will be going directly into the families accounts through the Red & Blue Foundation "

Get your tickets now for the "A Community Rises Up" benefit to lift up each other in our community and these families impacted.

Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with and for Dave Tysdal and his family as he continues to heal and recover. Believing for full movement and mobility!

Engineer Dave Tysdal remains in stable condition in the ICU at Kootenai Health Medical Center. He is recovering from a single gunshot wound to the back that collapsed his left lung, damaged his clavicle, shattered several ribs and caused spinal swelling. Dave is currently unable to move his legs. However, his spinal cord is communicating from the top to the bottom and we are hopeful movement will return when the swelling subsides. Dave has a long road to recovery.

You can make a donation to help Dave at any Interstate Bank or at the Red & Blue Foundation 🔗 Redbluefoundation.org

Not sure if our posting helped this kiddo in any way, but WAY TO GO SAWYER!!! This was all him! What a beautiful selfless heart he has!

Many who stopped by Sawyer’s stand to buy lemonade and popcorn handed him $20, $10, and $5 bills. All told, Sawyer raised about $1,000.https://www.krem.com/a...
