Who We Are.
Our Mission
Cancer & Community Charities (3Cs) is an organization of women volunteers committed to having fun and raising funds to support local Kootenai County charities in fighting cancer and assisting those who are in immediate need in our community.
Cancer & Community Charities is an outgrowth of the Cancer Crusaders Bowling League started in 1962 by the late Ellen Walden for whom the Walden House is named. This house is located near Kootenai Health and serves as temporary quarters, while family members are being treated at the hospital who cannot afford other lodging.
We were formally established in 1975 as a non-profit organization and since 1993 have been designated as a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation. It takes many hands to accomplish our fundraising goals each year.
We collect annual dues (only $25 per year) and many of the activity group activities ask that you make a small donation.
Our major fundraiser, our Annual Spring Fashion Show, makes it possible for us to raise and then donate a significant amount of money to many Kootenai County charities. Since our inception in 1962, we have granted over $2.5 million to Kootenai County charities.
Our Groups
We have a host of activity groups that provide opportunities to expand personal interests or make new friends.
Supported Charities
Our Activity Groups and fundraisers have enabled us to contribute over $2.5 million to worthy Kootenai County charities.
