WASHINGTON – As a lead up to Sunday's 38th Annual Cherry Blossom Ten Mile Run, Credit Union Miracle Day Chairman Juri Valdov today presented a $923,000 check on behalf of credit unions to the Children's Miracle Network.

"We're in the people business, we're in the people helping people business," he explained at a news conference at Children's National Medical Center. The check he presented was the third largest amount credit unions have contributed since they began sponsoring the event in 2002.

CUNA President/CEO Dan Mica paraphrased a song made famous by Barbara Streisand and noted that "people who care about people are the luckiest people in the world."
