FARMERS BRANCH, Texas - The Texas Credit Union Foundation (TCUF) received a donation of $17,000 for its Financial Literacy Fund from the Credit Union Twister board.

The Credit Union Twister board oversees the Texas Twister 10K in Austin, which started in July 2004 as a sister run of the Credit Union Cherry Blossom 10 mile run in Washington.

The last Texas Twister run was held in October 2006. During its three years in existence, the Texas Twister has raised more than $230,000 for Children’s Miracle Network, and for TCUF’s Disaster Relief Fund following Hurricane Katrina.

The race has been discontinued, so the board decided to donate the remaining proceeds to TCUF. (c) 2007 The Credit Union Journal and SourceMedia, Inc. All Rights Reserved. http://www.cujournal.com http://www.sourcemedia.com
