WASHINGTON -- Credit Union Miracle Day, Inc., sponsors of the 36th annual Credit Union Cherry Blossom 10-Mile Run(R), announced today that it has exceeded its goal of raising $1 million for the Children's Miracle Network.

"We are very pleased with these results which clearly demonstrate our commitment to helping children who need it most to get quality medical treatment," CUMD Chairman Juri Valdov said. "It reconfirms the credit union philosophy of people helping people and the credit union cooperative spirit."
