CU SacTown Run
The 12th Annual Credit Union SacTown Run raised more than $183,000 for 11 local Children's Miracle Network Hospitals across California and Nevada. More than 1,500 runners participated in the April 3 SacTown Run, which started and ended at the California State Capitol in Sacramento, including 500 credit union employees and members from the two states. Pictured from left to right are Michelle Linenberger, professional development nurse specialist and nurse educator at UC Davis Children's Hospital; John Pamer, chair of the Credit Union SacTown Run race and CEO of Diablo Valley Federal Credit Union ($46 million, Concord, Calif.); Tiffany Doty, SVP of client relationships for Co-op Solutions; and Larry Palochik, SVP of member solutions for the California and Nevada Credit Union Leagues.
CU Cherry Blossom Run Participants of the Credit Union Cherry Blossom Ten Mile Run present a $323,000 donation to Children's Miracle Network Hospitals on April 3 on the Washington Monument Grounds in Washington, D.C. Of the total donated to CMN Hospitals, $65,748 was raised by runners, their families and friends. Since credit unions became the title sponsors in 2002, over $10.2 million has been donated to CMNHs nationwide. The race returned to April for an in-person run for the first time since 2019 as COVID restrictions canceled the Run in 2020 and delayed an in-person event to September in 2021.
