Headquartered in North Carolina, Skyla Credit Union is committed to making a local impact, whether that’s through helping individuals and families achieve their financial goals, or through their continued support of local-facing philanthropic efforts like the Running of Balls 5K. This year, Skyla is returning as a presenting sponsor of the race, which supports Second Harvest Food Bank’s efforts in addressing food insecurity in the Triad. 

Skyla, which manages over $1.4 billion in assets and serves more than 105,000 members, has built its reputation as a trusted financial partner by focusing on the customer. The credit union offers a range of accessible financial tools and services that make managing money simpler for its members. But what distinguishes Skyla is its deep commitment to the local community—working to benefit the people who live and work in the area.

Running of the Balls’ unique approach to raising awareness for food insecurity, combined with the important work of Second Harvest Food Bank, has made it a natural fit for the credit union’s values. By sponsoring this event, Skyla is not only raising its own visibility but also contributing to a cause that has a direct and meaningful impact on local families.

Skyla’s choice to support the event is closely tied to its core mission of empowering people on their path to self-sufficiency. Food insecurity remains a pressing issue that touches every aspect of a person’s life, from education to economic stability. Skyla recognizes the crucial role organizations like Second Harvest Food Bank play in helping those in need and views its sponsorship of Running of the Balls as an opportunity to help address a critical community issue. The event provides an important platform to raise awareness and funds for those who struggle to access nutritious meals.

Skyla’s participation in this event underscores its broader commitment to fostering a stronger and healthier community. While the credit union is primarily focused on financial health, it acknowledges that supporting initiatives like Running of the Balls can help create a ripple effect. When families have reliable access to food, they can shift their focus to building better futures, including saving and investing for long-term success. By sponsoring this 5K, Skyla is not just promoting financial solutions—it is helping create the conditions for community members to thrive in all areas of their lives.

In its sponsorship of Running of the Balls, Skyla Credit Union demonstrates a continued dedication to improving the quality of life for people across the Triad. The credit union’s partnership with Second Harvest Food Bank is a reflection of its belief in the power of community support to drive lasting, positive change.
