“With some 25,000 participating charities, the CFC is the world’s largest and most successful workplace charitable drive.
Last year Federal workers and military personnel pledged over $283 million dollars, setting a new CFC record. Donations to the CFC change lives and bring relief and hope to thousands of communities and millions of Americans.I’ve always said that Federal employees are big-hearted people. Nothing demonstrates that caring spirit better than the CFC. Year after year, Federal workers across the nation and around the world show remarkable generosity. In these challenging economic times, it is more important than ever to open our hearts –and our wallets –to extend a helping hand.Federal civil servants never shrink from a challenge. This year, with so many in need, let’s show the American people what the men and women of the Federal government can do when we work together on a common cause. We’ve had seven consecutive years of pledge increases and record-setting annual CFC donations. Let’s make 2010 our next record-setting year!”
Those are the words from John Berry in his 2010 CFC Letter (embedded below), which kicked off this year’s campaign on September 1.
Last year, CFC of the National Capital area blogged about campaign activities in agencies across the Washington metropolitan area, and they have already posted a message about this year’s goals:
What Do Lunch Trays, Mosquito Nets and Mountain Climbing Have in Common?
Be sure to check out that blog post. In addition, GovLoop has created a special group for campaign volunteers:
CFC Rockstar Volunteers Group
Our hope is that you can use this group to ask questions of each other, share tips and tricks, and inspire one another along to another record-breaking year!
Let us know how else we can help you to get the word out and spread the gov’t love!
