Teachers Federal Credit Union Achieves Historic $1.1 Million Fundraising for Children's Miracle Network

Historic Achievement: $1.1 Million Fundraising

Teachers Federal Credit Union, known as one of the largest credit unions in the United States, has made a remarkable impact by raising over $1.1 million for the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. This significant milestone was attained during the Fourth Annual Golf Tournament held at Westhampton Country Club on June 3, 2026, attracting nearly 200 participants. From its inception in 2023, the credit union has now contributed more than $3 million to enhance the lives of children and families in need, demonstrating an extraordinary commitment to community well-being.

Brad Calhoun, the President and CEO of Teachers Federal Credit Union, expressed pride in this achievement, noting that it reflects the dedication of their employees, members, and business partners. The funds raised are instrumental in providing critical medical care and essential services to children across the nation. This partnership illuminates the collective effort towards fostering hope and support for vulnerable families.

The golf tournament, which is recognized as the largest fundraising event for the Children’s Miracle Network in the Northeast, is not just about raising funds. Teachers employees actively engage in volunteer work, focusing on projects that create comfort for children in hospitals. Activities such as crafting no-sew blankets and assembling craft supply kits are just a few examples of how staff contribute beyond monetary donations.

Aimee Daily, President of Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, acknowledged the difference that partnerships like those with Teachers Federal Credit Union make in the lives of children. She emphasized the importance of community collaboration in driving positive change, stating that the commitment exhibited through the golf tournament reflects the essence of the credit union’s fundamental philosophy of 'people helping people.'

The mission to raise funds for local hospitals is critical since these healthcare institutions rely heavily on community support to cover healthcare costs that often surpass what insurance and Medicaid offer. As a leading supporter of community initiatives, Teachers Federal Credit Union is committed to making a difference in the healthcare sector.

Not merely content with fundraising efforts, the credit union demonstrated its community spirit by contributing over $1.6 million to 120 nonprofit organizations in 2025 alone. This effort, coupled with more than 3,500 hours of volunteer work, underscores Teachers’ commitment to supporting education, health, economic development, and more.

Founded in New York in 1952, Teachers Federal Credit Union is now a full-service financial institution with $10 billion in assets and over 474,000 members across all 50 states. Their evolution from a credit union specifically for teachers to a community-focused institution illustrates a broader commitment to financial wellness for all.
