Credit Union Raises Over $30,000 for Diabetes Step Out Walk
January 9, 2013
McCoy Federal Credit Union of Orlando, FL raised over $30,000 to help prevent, cure, and stop diabetes.� This was the highest fund raising amount for any first year corporate team for Central Florida.
Over 177 McCoy employees with family, friends, and a few pets participated in the 5K walk.
McCoy Federal Credit Union's President and CEO Alvin J. Cowans served as the ADA Walk Chair for the 2012 Step Out Walk.� He committed to a fundraising goal of $15,000 for McCoy Federal, but that was quickly met and surpassed by the fundraising of Team McCoy, who reached over $30,000 by holding fundraisers such as cook outs, bakery sales, craft sales, raffles, as well as individual fundraising efforts.
Every dollar raised goes to support the prevention and cure of diabetes, and to improve the lives of people affected by the disease.
