WASHINGTON—After two years of being virtual events, the popular Credit Union Cherry Blossom Ten Mile Run will return this weekend in Washington, as will the Credit Union SACTOWN Run in Sacramento, Calif.
PSCU is again the lead sponsor of Credit Union Cherry Blossom Ten Mile Run.
The high-profile race, which includes both amateurs and professionals and which take place around many of Washington’s well-known landmarks in the capital, helps support lobbying efforts by CUNA and NAFCU, with more than 500 Congressional staffers among the thousands of runners participating.
PSCU noted the race provides a chance to demonstrate to those who work on Capitol Hill firsthand the community service and volunteer efforts credit unions contribute nationwide.
The annual race is a fundraiser benefitting Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, a consortium of 170 premier children’s hospitals across North America, and part of the Credit Union Miracle Day (CUMD).
“For the 15th consecutive year as a lead sponsor, PSCU is once again proudly joining credit unions from across the nation as they come together as title sponsors of the 49-year-old race known as the ‘Runner’s Rite of Spring’,” the company said.
More Than $10 Million Raised
PSCU said it is helping to underwrite expenses, enabling the money raised to further research and provide medical care for patients at Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. Since 2002, the race has raised and donated more than $10 million to the non-profit organization helping treat millions of children across the U.S. and Canada.
“Nationwide, credit unions are the fifth largest fundraisers for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals,” PSCU stated.
“We are proud to be a part of an industry-wide commitment to advocacy that enacts positive change in the lives of real people and contributes to the broad awareness of the importance of credit unions in communities across the U.S.,” said Chuck Fagan, president and CEO of PSCU. “With the ‘People Helping People’ philosophy at our core, we are proud to once again serve as a lead sponsor of this impactful event.”
SACTOWN Run Returns
In California’s capital, the Credit Union SACTOWN Run, which was first held in 2012, raises funds for Credit Union for Kids in partnership with the Sacramento Running Association.
The event has raised nearly $2 million for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.
The SACTOWN Run features both 10-mile and five kilometer race distances and is filled.
