To the local community, we are known as "The 3C's," an organization of women volunteers committed to raising funds to fight cancer and to assist with worthwhile needs in the local community. We are an outgrowth of the Cancer Crusaders Bowling League started in 1962 by the late Ellen Walden, for whom the Walden House is named. We were formally established in 1975 as a non-profit corporation and have been a 501c (3) non-profit corporation since 1993. 3C's welcomes women from all walks of life and is a philanthropic organization that does not promote any business, political party or religious group. It is open to any woman interested in meeting new people and expanding personal interests, and who will contribute not only dues but also charitable effort to the organization. You can support 3C's and have fun at the same time. Choose any of the activitiy groups, call the chairperson, attend the activity and everyone is a winner! We welcome any newcomers who choose purpose as well as pleasure for their community service. More about the 3C's...

The 3C's is an organization of women devoted to raising money for local charities within Kootenai County. We host several fundraising events throughout the year, and we have a great collection of activity groups where community members can get involved. We believe that we should have some fun while we're raising money for important local charities. So, whether you're interested in bowling, knitting, traveling, or cooking - we're sure you can find a group to match your interests.
Donation requirements are affordable, and each member plays an important part in making our organization a success. In the past few years, we have donated over $800,000 to local charities. If you haven't already, sign up today to become a 3C's member. You'll have an opportunity to get involved and have fun while you're at it!
A special thank you to our amazing members and supportive businesses. We would not be able to do it without you!
