Flag football to benefit Bliss family |

It is that time of year again! The Bonners Ferry Rotary Club will sponsor the second-annual U.S. Customs vs. Border Patrol charity flag football game. Last June they raised over $3,000 and were able to purchase a customized tricycle for seven year old Aiden Brenamen. Aiden is a young man with cerebral palsy who needed a specially made tricycle to help him with his mobility and independence. This was made possible with the help of the Rotary Club, local business and our community coming together to help a great family. This year the Rotary Club and CBP invite everyone to the game, to be held at 5 p.m. June 15 at the Bonners Ferry High School football field. With the aid of local businesses and the community, we are looking to help Abby Bliss. Abby is seven years old and has been diagnosed with autism. Abby's parents, Jack and Amy Bliss, would benefit from some assistance from our generous community. The second annual charity flag football game will help fund the Bliss's goal of having a fence installed around their yard. This would greatly benefit Abby's time playing in the yard and provide some peace of mind for Jack and Amy. The Bliss home is next to the highway and Abby is always in danger with traffic. We are hoping to see you at a great free family fun event to help Abby enjoy this summer in the yard with her family!
