Founded in 1954 by a group of local moms, The Papoose Club
is a non-profit volunteer organization that supports youth-oriented groups in
the Wood River Valley through fundraising activities and community events. Our
most well know and well loved events include The Wagon Days Pancake Breakfast,
Holiday Bazaar, Kindercup Ski Race, and Annual Plant Sale. Comprised of a group
of dedicated members who meet monthly, the Club’s mission is to promote and
assist cultural, social educational and athletic activities for children in the
Wood River Valley; providing financial support to a wide variety of programs
that serve children.
Papoose Club’s membership is a diverse group of dynamic,
community-minded, action oriented people. Over time, our membership roster has
included school board members, professionals, stay-at-home moms, teachers,
philanthropists, PTA presidents and civic leaders. What all Papoose Club
members have in common is a strong commitment to our local community kids in
the Wood River Valley. Annually the Papoose Club recognizes one of their
members for “Woman of the Year” for their leadership, enthusiasm and
participation with our fundraising and local events. This year’s recognition
went out to Karin Horvath a member and participant for over 7 years.
