"Be a Champion for Idaho Kids"

NEW THIS YEAR! Look for our fence line message along Seltice Way in Post Falls at the Frederick Post Learning Center. Thank you, Post Falls School District, for allowing us the use of your fence, and thank you to the Idaho Children's Trust Fund for funding these fence messages to be displayed across Idaho!
"CHAMPION 4 KIDS"
The Ribbons of Hope project invites citizens to make a commitment to strengthen themselves, someone they know, or the community, and add it to the display to show how small actions collectively add up to create big change. The result is a beautiful exhibit that can empower individuals and remind them that every action counts.
