In 2014, the MN Brain Tumor 5K set a new record, attracting close to 1,000 participants who helped to raise more than $54,000 for the cause. The 5K is dedicated to those who have lost the battle with brain tumors, the loved ones left behind, the courageous people who have been diagnosed with and are fighting a brain tumor, their family, friends and caregivers, and the researchers who strive for better treatments and a cure.

After a record setting year in 2014, organizers worked hard to sustain the momentum. “This year’s 5K exceeded all expectations and I applaud the organizers and participants for making it a huge success,” said Brian Sherrick, Ideal CU President/CEO and Ideal Community Foundation chairman. I am grateful to our employees for volunteering their time to help at such an important event and thank all of the participants for their selfless generosity.”

Established in 2005 as the official philanthropic arm of Ideal Credit Union (formerly Postal Credit Union), the Ideal Community Foundation is a nonprofit 501 (c) (3) dedicated to strengthening the quality of life in the greater Twin Cities metro area.
