The 3Cs organization started as a bowling league in the 1960s, called the Cancer Crusaders. Since then, the organization has raised and donated over $3 million for Kootenai County charities.
This year, the 3Cs will donate $137,000 to 28 Kootenai County organizations.
The 504-member group raises money by paying dues and participating in a number of activities, including the Coeur d'Aleers singing group, a fashion show, and luncheons.
The organization distributes money to charities covering everything from children to veterans, all while keeping the donations local.
“We cover a niche that other charities do not,” said 3Cs member Mary Ann Herston.
Members met Wednesday to decide how to disperse funds, which they will announce at their annual appreciation lunch Aug. 21 at the Best Western Plus Coeur d'Alene Inn.
