COEUR d'ALENE — From senior citizens and infant safety to food programs and mental health, Cancer and Community Charities members bestowed their full support Friday as they gifted $135,000 to 31 local nonprofits and charitable causes during their annual 3Cs Appreciation Lunch.
It's the most money the volunteer organization — which began in 1962 and was established as a nonprofit in 1975 — has raised in a single year in its long altruistic history, and 3Cs members were overjoyed to give it all back to their community.
