Welcome Letters

We are thrilled to be in our 18 year of title sponsorship of the
th
Credit Union Cherry Blossom Ten Mile Run! This is an amazing
running event and credit unions nationwide have enthusiastically
united to be a part of it.

The impact of our long-standing partnership is remarkable. Since becoming the title
sponsors in 2002, we have donated nearly $9 million to Children’s Miracle Network
Hospitals, locally and across the country, which treat 10 million children annually. This amount includes gener-
ous donations from runners and credit union members, employees, volunteers and business partners.

While our philanthropic achievements are notable, what’s really impressive is that credit unions help consumers
reach their financial dreams faster. They have the scale, services and cutting edge products needed for consum-
ers and their families to succeed. By returning earnings back to their customers through higher rates on savings
accounts and lower rates on loans, credit unions not only save their members an average of $184 a year, they are
also the best financial partners for life.

Credit Unions are family, and that’s obvious when you see the hundreds of credit union employees who volun-
teer on race weekend at packet pickup, water stops, corrals, and other stations and to the more than 8,000 credit
union members running this year’s race.

We are honored to be a part of the “Runner’s Rite of Spring”!

Thank you for your support and on with the Race and Celebration of our 18 Anniversary!
