August 18, 2025
SchoolsFirst Federal Credit Union, the largest credit union in California and the largest serving school employees and their families, helped raise awareness for Children’s Hospital Orange County (CHOC), now part of Rady Children’s Health, through participation in the CHOC Walk in the Park event and a team member “T-Shirt for Kids Fridays” fundraiser. SchoolsFirst FCU exceeded its 2025 fundraising goal by collecting more than $55,300 in donations, making it the fourth consecutive year the organization has ranked as the top fundraising corporate team for this event.
A record 170 credit union team members, friends and family registered for the annual 5K walk through Disneyland Park, Disneyland California Adventure Park and the Downtown Disney District in support of CHOC’s mission to build healthy futures for children and their families in Orange County.
“We’re proud of our team’s dedication to supporting children and families in Orange County,” said Bill Cheney, CEO of SchoolsFirst Federal Credit Union. “Our ongoing partnership with Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, the charity of choice for credit unions, and CHOC reflects our commitment to organizations providing essential pediatric care in our communities.”
