History

Each December, the Hauser Lake Fire Department hosts this fund raising event to help a local family in need. It began in 1985 to raise money to help alleviate medical bills and financial distress for the family of a Hauser Lake volunteer firefighter whose daughter was diagnosed with cancer. Even though Shalena lost her battle, her memory lives on with the Breakfast.

Shalena’s Breakfast With Santa has become an annual tradition within the community of Hauser, Idaho. With help from area businesses and North Idaho citizens, proceeds go to a family with a child diagnosed with a serous illness. The children’s illnesses are often terminal.
