2026 HOYA Clinic IronMed 5k Campaign - Georgetown University Crowdfunding

The Cooperative Development Foundation (CDF) serves as the apex US cooperative foundation. Through grantmaking and programming, CDF builds the capacity of the cooperative business community to solve societal challenges, reinforce democratic decision-making, and improve economic opportunities for all. As a result, more people in our nation can address their needs, pursue their aspirations, build shared wealth, and thrive in community.

The Co-op 5k is a fun and family-friendly race that supports CDF’s cooperative development and education work while honoring cooperative hero, Chuck Snyder, whose Do Well to Do Good mantra continues to inspire. The Co-op 5k is one of the ways CDF celebrates, promotes, and strengthens the cooperative identity. Every year, people come together with the spirit of Cooperative Principles 6 and 7 - Cooperation Among Cooperatives and Concern for Community – to help CDF raise money for continued co-op capacity building across the country.
