Treasured Adult Philanthropist 2023 Kaycee Dixey As the 2022-2023 Miss Shoshone-Bannock Queen, Kaycee Dixey served as a role model for Native youth and an ambassador for the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes. True to her intrepid spirit, Kaycee exemplified every aspect of the role—and then went above and beyond. Becky Martin, who works with Kaycee at the Shoshone-Bannock Casino Hotel and nominated her for an Idaho Philanthropy Day Award, has witnessed again and again how Kaycee goes beyond what’s expected to serve her community and help Indigenous culture thrive. It was a no-brainer to nominate Kaycee for the Treasured Adult Philanthropist Award.

Treasured Philanthropic Company 2023 Matchwood Brewing Company On October 20th, Matchwood Brewing Company celebrated its 5th anniversary. True to the brewery’s community-centered spirit, they brought in the same band that had performed at their opening; brought out Ester, their tiny tap track, to give free pours; had a silent disco; and created a festive, welcoming experience for their Sandpoint community. In many ways, it’s just another day in the life of the Sandpoint neighborhood brewery where “personal connections foster positive community change through the power of dialogue and laughter — one delicious handcrafted beer at a time,” as their mission states. For Matchwood, giving back isn’t an obligation or an afterthought — it’s a way of life.
