Of the total donated to CMN Hospitals, over $200,000 was raised by runners and their families and friends. Since becoming the title sponsor of the Credit Union Cherry Blossom Ten Mile Run 21 years ago, Credit Union Miracle Day (a consortium of over 100 credit unions and credit union partners) has raised more than $10.3 million for CMN Hospitals, a group of 170 children's hospitals in North America.
