The annual Kootenai Health Foundation’s Festival of Trees is November 28th through December 1st at the Coeur d'Alene Resort. This community wide kick-off to the holiday season brings the city together to decorate lavish Christmas trees that are sold at auction. Trees can be viewed throughout the holiday season, providing an excellent way to enjoy festive, creative designs during the Christmas season.
Local businesses sponsor about 40 trees and displays that are then lavishly decorated by talented designers who create one-of-a-kind holiday masterpieces.
This year, the 26th annual event benefits the three-story, 100,000 square-foot facility expansion project that includes a family birthing center, neonatal intensive care unit, medical-surgical patient rooms, new registration area, expanded waiting area, and a covered drop-off area. Since 1989, Kootenai Health Foundation’s Festival of Trees has raised over $5 million to benefit Kootenai Health Care’s facilities and programs like Kootenai Heart Center, Walden House, McGrane Center for Rehabilitation and Therapeutic Care, patient transportation program and others.
Several events during the festival help raise funds for projects that improve healthcare for residents in northern Idaho. Events include:
