FedChoice Supports the 51st Credit Union Cherry Blossom Run

FedChoice Federal Credit Union supported the 51st Credit Union Cherry Blossom Run in Washington, DC on April 5th and 6th, with a financial contribution as well as staff volunteers. Presented by America’s Credit Unions, the event raises funds for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. FedChoice was proud to play a small part in the event that raised over $550,000 for a wonderful organization.

FedChoice President/CEO Brett Noll ran in the 10-mile event on Sunday. “My first Credit Union Cherry Blossom couldn’t have been better,” said Noll. “It was incredible to run with thousands of people through our beautiful Nation’s capital while joining so many credit union members, volunteers, and staff in raising over half a million dollars for an extraordinary cause.”  

FedChoice employees also volunteered at water stops and handed out race packets before the run. FedChoice Business Development Manager Marcia Lynch said, “The Annual Cherry Blossom Run gives me a chance to connect with so many other credit union volunteers and to encourage the runners. FedChoice is proud to continue to support this event and honestly, it's just fun!”
