Extreme Team Hard at Work on a Yard and then some.

The Extreme Team helps those who can't get the work done on their home due to a lack of funds and or ability. Lila and Toni, mother and daughter, fit that profile. Both have arthritis and Lila is pushing 81, the stairs and the stuff have worn her out. Her other daughter Dale nominated them for a backyard at the Premier Home Show a month ago and they were chosen, so we showed up. Hundreds of people will donate time, money and materials to get this yard in shape by this Thursday. We will reveal the finished work to them live on KXLY News@6.

Get the best view in Spokane from the top of its tallest building and then... repel down 20 stories from the top of the Bank of America Financial Center. Want in on the chance to do it? All you've got to do is raise some money.

The Over the Edge event gives the once in a lifetime opportunity to 80 thrill seekers who raise at least $1,000 for the Special Olympics, a cause you can't beat. It's the world's largest sports organization for people with intellectual disabilities.
