Run the Streets named as Caring in Action Partner

• 1/16/2020

Truity Credit Union is excited to announce that after a nomination and voting process among employees in Bartlesville, Run the Streets was chosen as our Caring in Action Partner for 2020. Throughout the year, Run the Streets will receive an approximate donation of $40,000, courtesy of employee giving, along with a single gift of almost $7,200 that was presented on January 15. In addition, Truity will provide the organization with communications support, host supply drives and contribute volunteer hours.

“We are thrilled at this opportunity to partner with Run the Streets and to impact their mission to change the lives of at-risk youth in our community,” said Truity Vice President of People Development Andria McCollough. “Our employees at Truity continuously go above and beyond with their monetary donations and their time to support local charities and organizations. We believe that we are only as strong as our community, and this partnership reflects the credit union difference we strive for as well as our culture at Truity.”

Run the Streets is a mentoring program which uses long distance running as a vehicle for change with at-risk and delinquent youth. Youth between the ages of 12 and 18 train with adult mentors for 13 weeks to run a half-marathon. The program is provided at no cost to youth runners, with funding provided by private donors, like Truity, and the annual Woolaroc 8k race.

“We are sincerely humbled and grateful for Truity’s decision to support Run the Streets in such an impactful way,” said Run the Streets founder Bob Williams. “This partnership is one that will not only bolster Run the Streets’ ability to serve at-risk and delinquent youth in this area but also help us take the next step in developing the program and ensuring sustainability.” For more information on Run the Streets, visit runthestreets.org.
