TEACHERS FEDERAL CREDIT UNION RAISED $217,000 FOR AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY'S MAKING STRIDES AGAINST BREAST CANCER

Presenting Sponsor of the Nation's Largest Making Strides Walk Continues Its Support Across New York and Florida

HAUPPAUGE, N.Y., Nov. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Teachers Federal Credit Union, one of the largest credit unions in the United States with $9.9 billion in assets and over 472,000 members nationwide, proudly raised $217,000 in support of the American Cancer Society's Making Strides Against Breast Cancer. Since 2021, the credit union has raised more than $867,000 to support the American Cancer Society's efforts to end breast cancer as we know it.

Teachers Federal Credit Union returned as Presenting Sponsor of Making Strides Against Breast Cancer of Long Island, the nation's largest Making Strides walk, which brought approximately 82,000 participants to Jones Beach on October 18. Over 320 Teachers teammates joined the event alongside their families, friends, and members of the community. Teachers also served as Presenting Sponsor of Making Strides Against Breast Cancer of Eastern Long Island, as a Silver Sponsor of the Tampa Bay and Southwest Florida walks, and as a sponsor of the Orlando walk. The credit union's support in New York and Florida reflects its ongoing commitment to the communities it serves, including the greater Orlando area, where Teachers opened its Lake Mary branch earlier this year.

"When we come together around a shared purpose, we have the power to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others," said Brad Calhoun, President and CEO of Teachers Federal Credit Union. "Our continued partnership with the American Cancer Society reflects our commitment to supporting the people and communities we serve. I am deeply grateful to our employees, members, and partners for their dedication to a cause that has touched so many lives."

This year's campaign began with a $90,000 corporate contribution and grew through the generosity and efforts of Teachers employees, members, and the community. Employees led fundraising efforts across Teachers branches, contact center, and corporate headquarters, while also finding meaningful ways to support those impacted by breast cancer. Teammates came together to create sashes for survivors and thrivers, make luminarias that light the path at the East End breast cancer walk, and volunteer at the American Cancer Society's Hope Lodge to support patients and their families.

The partnership is part of Teachers' ongoing commitment to building strong communities. So far in 2026, Teachers has contributed more than $1.8 million in donations, and more than 600 employees have dedicated nearly 3,500 hours to supporting the communities the credit union serves.
