VIRGINIA BEACH, Va.–Chartway Federal Credit Union helped to sponsor the Chartway Norfolk Harbor Half Marathon, 10K, and We Promise Foundation 5K.
For the past five years, the race weekend has been presented by Chartway Federal Credit Union in partnership with J&A Racing. Out of the five years that the two partners have worked together, this is the third year Chartway has served as the title sponsor.
The credit union’s charitable arm, the We Promise Foundation, also served as the premier charity of the event, receiving a $1 donation per registered runner from the J&A Racing Foundation.
To make the holiday event even jollier, the We Promise Foundation partnered with Toby’s Dream Foundation to grant a wish to a local 13-year-old boy, Koby. Koby, who reacted to the surprise wish grant with a huge smile, will be traveling to the Hot Wheels Design Center in El Segundo, Calif. in January, where he will tour the factory and design his very own Hot Wheels car. Koby is currently undergoing treatment for osteosarcoma, and his wish trip will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience full of rest, relaxation, and timeless memories.
“We’re honored to partner with J&A Racing to present this event for our community to enjoy,” said Chartway President and CEO Brian Schools. “We have a strong commitment to serving our members and strengthening the communities we serve through partnerships, sponsorships.”
