The Fry Healthcare Foundation is bringing "Joy
to the World" with this year's 20th Annual
Festival of Trees
Event, held at the Boundary County Fairgrounds
in Bonners Ferry on Friday, December 11 and
Saturday, December 12, 2015.
For the past twenty years, the Fry Healthcare
Foundation Board of Directors and friends of the
organization have produced the Festival of
Trees. Volunteers are now planning, organizing
and preparing to share their joy with the
community for this year's exciting event.
Friday night kicks off the festivities with
Family Night from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Come
and view the trees, munch on decorated cookies,
watch and listen as singers and entertainers
perform. Children can visit with Santa and
everyone can share in the special joys of the
holidays. A donation of canned goods for local
Boundary County charities is appreciated as
admission to the event.
Saturday night is the “Gala.” This highlight of
the Holiday Social Scene is the night where
funds are raised benefiting Boundary Community
Hospital. There will be a silent and a live
auction, games, music, and friends. Dinner
tickets may be purchased for $35 before December
8. Among the donated auction items are decorated
trees and wreaths, airline tickets, golf and
skiing packages, sports tickets and memorabilia,
original art and photography, and much, much
more.
Named for Dr. E.E. Fry who opened his office in
Bonners Ferry back in 1903, and opened the first
hospital in Boundary County, the non-profit Fry
Healthcare Foundation has raised over one
million dollars across its 20-year history for
the purchase of equipment for Boundary Community
Hospital and the benefit of the community.
Through the generous contributions of friends
and patrons, the Foundation’s goal of purchasing
a 15-passenger, wheelchair accessible van was
realized last year. This year’s goal is to fund
the purchase of a Mobile Ultrasound Machine for
the Hospital’s Emergency Room.
Come Spread the Joy in our World at the 2015
Festival of Trees
