Annual fundraiser supports Children’s Health of Orange County in its mission to build healthy futures for children

SchoolsFirst Federal Credit Union, the largest credit union serving school employees and their families, today announced that its team raised more than $56,390 for Children's Health of Orange County (CHOC) during CHOC Walk in the Park 2024. This marks the third year in a row as the highest fundraising corporate team at CHOC Walk.

Each year, the walk helps CHOC raise essential funds that support children and their families receiving care from CHOC. The fundraiser featured a 5K walk held at Disneyland park and Disney California Adventure park on July 21. This year, 153 SchoolsFirst FCU team members, including friends and family members, supported the effort by collecting funds from donors and participating in the walk. Additionally, other fundraising activities by the SchoolsFirst FCU team, including bake sales, wheel spins and Credit Unions for Kids T-shirt Days contributed to the total funds raised.

"Our longstanding support of CHOC is an important way for SchoolsFirst FCU to make a real difference in the lives of children and families who receive care at CHOC." said Bill Cheney, chief executive officer at SchoolsFirst FCU. "Our team looks forward to this event each year and we are honored to partner with CHOC and support their mission to provide excellent care for children in the communities we serve."
