What is Coeur54?
When the pandemic struck in 2020 we noticed immediately that the fundraising world was
going to be impacted severely. Group gatherings were banned and the popularity of outdoor
activites skyrocketed. This led to the idea of our unique fundraising idea: play 54 holes of golf in
one day at 3 different local golf courses. We held our first event in 2020 with just 8 competitors
and raised $15,000 for CdAIDE. In 2021 with a little rebranding and 8 more players we created
the Coeur54 and raised just over $30,000 split between Village of Hope and First Tee of N
Idaho. Later that year we established our Non-Profit, The 54Foundation. In 2022 we donated
$13,000 to Newby-ginnings with an additional $12,000 to another 7 area organizations. In 2023
we held our 4th event to support Special Needs Recreation with a donation of $20,000 and
another $17,250 to 11 additional organizations. In 2024 provided 4H of N Idaho a check for
$30,000 and another $20,000 to 12 additional organizations in Kootenai County. Last year in
2025, we set a fundraising record that allowed us to support 4 worthwhile organizations IDFY,
Growing the Stem, Safe Start and Village of Hope with $12,000 each and another $15,000 to 6
other organizations.
