Girl Scouts of Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho is hoping the region will jump on board and donate during the first ever Idaho Gives campaign.

Idaho Gives is a 24 hour giving campaign sponsored by the Idaho Nonprofit Center. The event gives donors the opportunity to give to any of the 531 participating non profits across Idaho. For every $10 donation made groups will be entered to win a Golden Ticket prize. The more donors that GSEWNI gets, the more chances they have to win prize money.

Groups have also been divided by size into three separate scoreboards. Each scoreboard carries an additional $5,000 worth of prize money that will be divided between the top five money raisers at the end of the day. Idaho Gives also features an Everybody Wins Award, this award takes a general pool of money and divides it by the percentage if the total raised. For example, if Girl Scouts raises one percent of the total for the entire campaign, then they receive one percent of the Everybody Wins Award.

It was a somber scene this morning at Lewis & Clark High School as students, staff and parents participated in a mock crash. The mock crash is designed to create a realistic enactment of the consequences of driving under the influence of alcohol.

Many high schools in the area stage a mock crash for junior and senior students every other year prior to prom. LC, however, has not had one since 1995. DECA teacher, Chantel Czarapata, wants this years crash to become a regular part of life as a tiger.

Czarapata was inspired to bring back the mock crash after one of her students, Jacoby Bryant, was killed in 2010. The crash was occurred near 54th and Hatch on Spokane's South Hill and was alcohol related. School counselor, Bob Adams, says that every year LC hears of at least five students, either current or recent graduates, that have been involved in accidents while under the influence.

On Hoopfest weekend thousands will be in Downtown Spokane to be a part of the largest 3 on 3 basketball tournament in the world. It takes a lot of planning and organization to run an event sporting over 7,000 teams, 250,000 players and 456 courts and have it go smoothly. But mostly it takes an army of volunteers and Hoopfest is already recruiting.

Last year over 2,500 volunteers helped make the event happen and this year organizers are half way to filling the volunteer ranks. Anyone can be involved, whether you have basketball experience or not. From court monitors to merchandise sales to general clean up there is a job for everyone.
