Event Information
What Is the Co-op 5k?
The Co-op 5k serves as a major fundraiser for the Cooperative Development Foundation (CDF). CDF is a non-profit foundation with a national and international focus on community, economic, and social development through co-op enterprise (www.cdf.coop). Monies raised through the event go to support cooperative development nationwide.

The 2022 Co-op 5k will honor Chuck Snyder, a longtime supporter and board member of CDF, and a cooperative hero. Chuck was part of the fabric of cooperatives and an enthusiastic supporter and NCB team member of the Co-op 5k. CDF will recognize his work and contribution by incorporating the words he lived by into the Co-op 5k race - “do well to do good.” CDF will use funds raised in Chuck’s honor through the race and other efforts to honor him by doing well to do good, especially for people and communities in need as he did.
