Nine of Bonners Ferry’s most outstanding junior girls will be given an opportunity to win scholarship money and prizes in this year’s annual Bonners Ferry Distinguished Young Women Scholarship Program (formerly Junior Miss). Set for April 24, at the Becker Auditorium, the theme of this year’s program is “Believe.”
Tickets for this year’s program will be limited due to capacity restrictions in the Becker Auditorium, but some tickets will be available to the general public. Tickets will be sold at Mountain Mike’s Health Food Store and will be available for purchase beginning Tuesday, April 13, at 9 a.m. Tickets are $12 each.
The Bonners Ferry Distinguished Young Women program receives its funds and support entirely through the donations of local community members and businesses. Without this support the program would not exist. Throughout the next several weeks, volunteers will be contacting businesses and community members for their support. Donations of any size make a significant impact and allow Bonners Ferry’s best to achieve their higher learning goals. If you would like to donate to this year’s program, please contact Andrakay Pluid at 208-946-7598.
