In 2012, the group organized after realizing that the membership was missing many opportunities to make a positive difference within the community. Resources were gathered, and a Little League Team was sponsored. From those humble beginnings our membership began to assist in worthwhile community endeavors. After realizing that the CBC could become a force for good, we incorporated in November, 2014 and received 501 c (3) status with the IRS.After incorporating, the CBC began to gain exposure in the media for the works that we were doing. The community was impressed with our growing group of charitable young men & women, and the CBC has been involved in every Community Event in the Town of Culver since then, even becoming a pillar for local government leadership to rely on. Recently, the CBC has been involved with the Marshall County Tourism Department, and has plans to further help indigent children in Culver, and Marshall County.
