Valley Shares Its Love For Kids
Kristin Bevers and Brian Ross peruse the silent auction at the eighth annual Share Your Heart Ball benefit for Camp Rainbow Gold, a summer camp for Idaho kids battling cancer. The event at the Sun Valley Limelight Room on Saturday, Feb. 20, had 460 people in attendance. The benefit raised nearly $500,000 and although the numbers were down from previous years, benefit founders and co-chairs Kris and Rob Kronin were pleased. The evening featured country music recording artist and songwriter Ashley Monroe, who attended camp last summer. Monroe returned to Sun Valley to sing with Camp Rainbow Gold camper McKenna. Monroe also gave an outstanding performance of “Amazing Grace.” Attendees gave a moment of silence for missing soldier Bowe Bergdahl, and the paddle donation round, Cash for Campers, started with a donation of $25,000 in memory of campers who were lost to cancer. Disco and 1980s cover band Grooveline came straight from the Winter in Olympics in Vancouver, B.C., to play for the benefit. Express photo by Willy Cook
