Mission Statement
To support cancer patients in the North Idaho Community.
About This Cause
We are the Carper family of Coeur d’ Alene, Idaho and represent the Carper Community Foundation. The roots of our foundation started as a homegrown fundraiser in our backyard over 10 years ago, but through the generosity and support of local partners we have been able to expand our fundraising efforts and make a tangible impact here in our community. To date, we have raised nearly $175,000 for cancer patients in North Idaho. Our Mission. To support cancer patients in our North Idaho Community. What Drives Us. Our dedication to this cause is in loving tribute to so many in our community that have battled cancer, but especially we honor our mom Kathy Carper. She lost her long-time battle to breast cancer in 2001, but her amazing courage and strength of spirit continues to inspire those her knew her. We were supported by so many in our community and this is our way of giving back. Making a Difference in Our Community. We remain committed as an organization to ensure our fundraising efforts help those right here in our community. As such, we donate all fundraising proceeds to local community cancer foundations; including the Panhandle Health District, Kootenai Health Foundation Patient Support Fund and Susan G. Komen Idaho. The funds donated to the Kootenai Health Foundation will be used in the Cancer Patient Support Fund, which has the greatest financial need within the cancer center and aims to remove financial barriers that would prohibit a patient from getting the care they need. Often this money is used for gas cards, necessary pain medications not covered by insurance, co-pays, cab rides and sometimes even groceries or new shoes for kids. Funds also go toward providing FREE lifesaving mammograms to those who cannot afford this service, and breast cancer research so that one day, we’ll find a cure for this deadly disease. Get Involved and Support Our Cause. It is hard to find someone whose life has not been personally impacted by this devastating disease. We want to continue to make an impact in our community but realize that we cannot do this without the generosity and support of local businesses and partners. While we are always evaluating opportunities to expand our fundraising efforts, the Carper Community Foundation currently looks to our flagship event ‘Breast Fest’ as our primary fundraising source. The event consists of a silent and live auction, raffle drawings, 50/50 prizes, etc. and is hosted in conjunction with the Susan G. Komen ‘Race for the Cure’ weekend in Coeur d’ Alene each year. We hope that you will consider supporting our foundation by any means possible; item procurement for silent/live auctions, cash donation, event night volunteer, etc. Any support you can offer helps.
