Tell me more about the Dave Wade Fundraiser

Dave Wade and his family lived in Cokeville and during their time here, they greatly enriched many people's lives.

Additionally, during that time period and in the time period following their subsequent moves, the Wade family has contributed back to our community for a number of fundraisers in the form of donating prints of Dave's world renowned wildlife paintings.

Trials hit all families and one has hit Dave. The Cokeville Miracle Foundation was contemplating a way to purchase a Dave Wade original painting to hang in our high school when they heard of Dave's personal situation.

He was contacted and agreed to make a painting for the school and finally was also convinced to let Cokeville Community raise funds to pay for the painting. The Miracle Foundation decided that a community effort to raise $5000 was obtainable, especially since they were able to match dollar for dollar the first $2500 raised by the community.

HOWEVER, Dave made a HUGE painting for the school, not a small one as envisioned by the Cokeville Miracle Foundation. Dave is STILL GIVING back to the community, as a painting of the size made would command much more than the $5000 the Cokeville Miracle Foundation and Cokeville Community is raising.

The painting will be unveiled at the Homecoming Assembly this Friday. Dave Wade will be present. Please come support the Homecoming Activities and this special presentation. All donations received will go to "Give Back to Dave Wade", even if the total raised exceeds the $5000

THANK YOU!!
