The Bonners Ferry Distinguished Young Women program receives its funds and support entirely through the donations of local community members and businesses. Without this support the program would not exist. To make it easy to donate, we have established the 9B.News Bonners Ferry DYW “Run for the Roses” Fundraiser with the approval of Bonners Ferry Distinguished Young Women program administration. All proceeds will go to the Bonners Ferry Distinguished Young Women Program, with 9B.News contributing the GoFundMe service fees so that the program receives the full amount donated.
The Bonners Ferry Distinguished Young Women Scholarship Program takes place at 6:30 p.m. Saturday, April 26, in Bonners Ferry High School’s Becker Auditorium. The theme of this year’s program is “Run for the Roses.” Tickets are $12 per per person at Mountain Mike’s Health Food Store, 6486 Main Street, Bonners Ferry. All seats are reserved, they sell out fast and may not be available at the door … so get your tickets early!
