Have you seen www.MiracleDay.org lately? Our comprehensive website puts everything you need to know about 2009 Credit Union Cherry Blossom Ten Mile Run events at your fingertips. From a day-by-day planning guide to marketing materials ready for your imprint and printing, you have access to everything you need for communications and fundraising in one place.
This spirited event is one of the race weekend’s most popular highlights! This year’s format is a cabaret-style reception filled with many FUNdraising activities. This year’s venue: the Grand Hyatt, Washington, D.C. (the official race headquarters hotel).
Also new this year, you’ll get a chance to meet some of the children Champions and their families in person. Mingle, chat, and get first-hand stories to remind you why we are all involved – to help children get essential, quality medical care. Watch for more details in our next eNewsletter.
The Gala Committee needs donations for the 2009 Gala auctions. Due to the generosity of our premier sponsor, PSCU Financial Services, we can guarantee that all funds raised will go directly to Children’s Miracle Network! This is a great way for sponsors to support the Gala even if you cannot attend. Donations are due to State Department FCU by March 20, so start thinking about what you, your credit union and your business partners/vendors may be able to donate. We’re seeking unique items in the $200-$300 range for our silent auction; items of higher value will be considered for our live auction emceed by local personality Paul Berry.
The Fundraising race has begun! Will your credit union win the 2009 Donation Challenge? Learn more about the competition here.
