BENEFIT | Hope on the Slopes

SATURDAY | Feb. 23 from 9 am-4 pm | $30/individual; $150/team

Mt. Spokane Ski & Snowboard Park

Mt. Spokane Ski & Snowboard Park is teaming up with the American Cancer Society with the goal to raise $25,000 toward efforts to eliminate cancer. Teams and individuals skiers and riders are invited up to the mountain to partake in a day full of fun that’s all for a good cause, with a scavenger hunt and some competitive rivalry. The event will focus around competitions in two categories: the most vertical feet skied throughout the day and the largest sum of money raised for the cause. Prizes will be raffled off during the day, and the participant with the most vertical feet skied will win a new pair of K2s. It’s not only a great day to be out on the slopes with friends and family, but a meaningful way to give back since all pledges raised help support cancer patients and their families and to fund potentially life-saving cancer screenings and cancer research.

MUSIC | Benjamin Britten: A 100th Birthday Festival Concert

FRIDAY | Feb. 22 at 7:30 pm | Free

Cathedral of Our Lady of Lourdes | 1115 W. Riverside Ave.

Join the Gonzaga University Choir for its 100th birthday concert for Benjamin Britten, one of the brightest and busiest composers in 20th century music. Don’t know a lot about Britten? Many outside the art world don’t, but the concert will feature a smorgasbord of the composer’s work, spanning genre and style. Gonzaga’s combined choirs, paired with organist John Bodinger, will perform the musical “Happy Birthday” under the direction of Timothy Westerhaus. This party to honor the late artist will also be going on around the globe in a number of cities.

FILM | Oscars Viewing Party

SUNDAY | Feb. 24 at 4 pm | $10 minimum donation

Bing Crosby Theater | 901 W. Sprague Ave.

Watching the Oscars is fun. Watching the Oscars with friends — and dressing up — is even better. Come to the Bing and watch the Academy Awards in style, but don’t just sit there, get involved. If you think you know how to dress like a Hollywood star, enter one of several categories for best-dressed attendees. The prizes range from tickets to a Gonzaga men’s basketball home game to a gift basket stuffed full of goodies. All ticket donations will benefit three local nonprofits: KYRS, SpIFF and The Lands Council.

MUSIC | Camaros, Myth Ship, Catholic Guilt

FRIDAY | Feb. 22 at 9 pm

Ugly Bettie's | 211 N. Division St.

The always entertaining local ‘70s rock outfit, the Camaros, take the stage tomorrow night at Ugly Bettie's. The band's story is an interesting one: by day, half of them are high school teachers, by night, they rock the F out. And that’s not all: the singer is the star of Northern Quest Casino’s hilarious ad campaign. Be prepared to catch yourself dancing. They play with locals Myth Ship and Catholic Guilt.
