SANTA ANA, Calif. – Aug. 28, 2023 – Orange County’s Credit Union, a Santa Ana-based financial services provider with more than 130,000 Members, raised $22,700 to benefit Children’s Hospital of Orange County (CHOC) through a fundraising campaign in honor of the 2023 CHOC Walk in the Park presented by Disneyland® Resort, exceeding their initial goal of $15,000.
Leading up to the annual CHOC Walk in the Park on Sunday, August 20, Orange County’s Credit Union orchestrated the involvement of over 150 Members and Associates in its fundraising efforts. The Credit Union spearheaded a range of initiatives, including art, bake, and ice cream sales to Members at various branches, silent auctions, and donations from friends and family through social media awareness, among other activities. As a result of these collective efforts, Orange County’s Credit Union placed 2nd among all other Credit Unions for Kids teams.
"The annual CHOC Walk in the Park is the most highly anticipated event for our Members and Associates to partake year after year and we were beyond thrilled to lead a range of fundraising initiatives," said Kathy Jumper, CEO of Orange County’s Credit Union. "Our fundraising campaign reflects our commitment to creating positive change, not just within the walls of the Credit Union, but within the communities we serve. Together, we're working towards a brighter future for those in need, driven by our shared appreciation for the programs CHOC provides to local children and families in Orange County."
Orange County’s Credit Union has participated in CHOC Walk in the Park for 15 years with the purpose of raising necessary funds for programs, education, and research for children in Southern California. CHOC relies on local support of the community to provide leading-edge care for infants, children, and adolescents close to their homes. The annual fundraiser ensures CHOC can continue to nurture, advance, and protect the health and well-being of children throughout Orange County and its surrounding areas.
