Limited number of Guaranteed Race Entries still available
If you, your family, friends or co-workers weren’t able to gain entry to the Credit Union Cherry Blossom Ten Mile Run, you’ve got one last chance! A limited number of guaranteed race entries are available to interested parties who raise $500 in donations by 3/1/09. For more information about these special charity race entries, email Leslie Lloyd.

You don’t have to be a runner to make a difference
Walkers, coaches, supporters, and armchair athletes can help raise funds for sick kids in your hometown. Our online fundraising tool helps supporters of the Credit Union Cherry Blossom Ten Mile Run act as “virtual fundraisers”.  It is easy, fun, and has proven successful for other national charities such as the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure and the Marine Corp Marathon.

Visit our website and select the “Individual/Team Donation” tab to establish your own personal web page to easily solicit donations. Whether you are a Credit Union or partner sponsor; running individually or as part of a team; volunteering your time to race weekend; or a valued friend of this important cause; you can use our Individual/Team Donation site to help raise funds for Children’s Miracle Network and your local Children’s Hospital.
