DCUC proudly sponsored the 10 Mile Freedom Run/Walk at Camp Arifjan and Camp Buehring in Kuwait this April. The races, hosted by Morale, Welfare & Recreation (MWR), were held in conjunction with the Credit Union Cherry Blossom race in Washington, DC. The events brought together Sailors, Marines, Airmen, and Soldiers for some friendly competition.

“The MWR’s programming is an important part of life on any installation, especially for servicemembers stationed overseas away from their families. MWR provides valuable support for our military members and their families, and DCUC is proud to continue its support of events like this that provide an opportunity for our servicemembers to build community and morale,” said Anthony Hernandez, DCUC President/CEO.

DCUC has supported the Kuwait 10 Mile Freedom Run since 2013. In addition to providing affordable and effective financial services, DCUC and its member credit unions recognize supporting the physical and mental wellbeing of our servicemembers is vital to mission readiness.

The Defense Credit Union Council is the premier resource for credit unions on all military and veteran matters. By maintaining a close and constant liaison with the Pentagon, Capitol Hill, and NCUA, the Council champions the interests of credit unions serving our military and veteran communities by coordinating policy, procedures, and legislation impacting morale and welfare, financial readiness, and the delivery of quality financial products and services. Organized in 1963, the Council’s membership is comprised of 180 credit unions with over 30 million members.
