Buy a Christmas tree
to save a life

Sometimes helping out charities can benefit us in more ways than karmic satisfaction. This year, thanks to Cancer Consultants of Ketchum and All Seasons Landscaping in Bellevue, purchasing a Christmas tree can benefit everyone.

The net proceeds of the sale of All Seasons noble fir trees will benefit three charities: United Cancer Charities, Expedition Inspiration Fund for Breast Cancer Research in Ketchum and Camp Rainbow Gold, a free weeklong camp for children diagnosed with cancer located 14 miles north of Ketchum.

United Cancer Charities helps local charities with innovative fundraising programs. As well, it donates a portion of net proceeds to organizations that educate cancer patients.

All Seasons, located on South Main Street in Bellevue, has trees measuring 6 to 8 feet tall. They are all from Southern Oregon. These trees are also available at Revival on North Main Street in Ketchum.

 

The Idaho Mountain Express is distributed free to residents and guests throughout the Sun Valley, Idaho resort area community. Subscribers to the Idaho Mountain Express will read these stories and others in this week's issue.
