Thank you to Holly of Pollen & Petal for bringing her artistry and heart to our centerpiece class last night. As Mason’s sister, she carries sunshine with her—and she shared that light with all of us.
We love and appreciate you more than words can say. 💛✨

Huge congratulations to our very own Roxanne Kussler, named Citizen of the Year by the Rathdrum Chamber! 🎉
We’re so lucky to have her on our Events Committee. Way to go, Roxanne!

Judging by the standing ovation each award recipient received at the Rathdrum Area Chamber of Commerce’s Annual Awards Dinner and Auction on Saturday night, those named came as little surprise to the attendees. The recipients, however, were plenty surprised.

Our Story

Safe Start, a program of Northwest Infant Survival and SIDS Alliance, is dedicated to improving childhood health and safety throughout the Northwest via our educational programs, public safety initiative and regional partnerships. We believe every child deserves to celebrate their first birthday and beyond, free from accidental death and injury.

Every year, 3700 infants die due to Sudden Unexpected Infant Death (SUID), the number one cause of death for infants in the US. Data shows that 90% of these deaths may have been prevented if caregivers knew and had followed the ABC’s of Safe Infant Sleep. The heartbreaking statistic is why we are dedicated to our life-saving mission.

Educating parents, caregivers, medical professionals and first-responders on the American Academy of Pediatrics’ recommendations for Safe Infant Sleep is our main target for preventing the majority of these deaths.

We also realize there is little support for grieving families who have suffered the ultimate loss of a child. No matter the cause of death, we are here to provide support during their journey of grief.
