Annual Benefit Dinner
Mark your calendars for our Annual Benefit Dinner on April 29, the largest fundraiser of the year for Kootenai Classical Academy. This special evening brings our community together in support of our students, our teachers, and the enduring mission of KCA. The event will be held at the beautiful Coeur d’Alene Resort.
The evening will include a welcoming social hour, a thoughtfully prepared dinner, an inspiring keynote address, and a powerful paddle raise that directly supports the future of our school.
We are honored to welcome Dale Hawkins, current Chair of the Idaho House Education Committee, as our keynote speaker. In his leadership role, Chairman Hawkins helps guide statewide policy impacting K–12 education, school governance, curriculum, and education reform. His insight into the future of education in Idaho makes this a timely and meaningful conversation for our KCA community. Representative Hawkins is also a strong supporter of KCA and its classical education mission here in Idaho, making his participation especially meaningful for our school community.
Please save the date and plan to join us for this important evening. Tickets, tables, and sponsorship opportunities are now available for purchase, and your participation plays a vital role in sustaining and strengthening classical education in our community.
