Cooperative Family Fund Virtual 5k Walk/Run Event

How can I make an impact

Join the 2026 Cooperative Family Fund Virtual 5K Walk/Run to support families of fallen electric cooperative employees. 

Why put on your walk/running shoes

The Cooperative Family Fund provides support for children when they experience the loss of a parent actively employed at an electric cooperative. This support demonstrates the value our cooperative network places on cooperative families at the time of their greatest need. Every step you take helps provide support to families in need—your participation truly makes a difference. Proceeds from the race go to the Cooperative Family Fund.
