Still time to provide timely aid through CFC Published Nov. 1, 2006 By 71st FTW Public Affairs Vance Air Force Base, Okla. -- Time to donate to the Combined Federal Campaign reaches its final two weeks at Vance Air Force Base today. Team Vance federal employees and servicemembers still have until Nov. 10 to contribute. This year's campaign has gone fairly well, according to Capt. Daniel Yerrington, 33rd Flying Training Squadron and Vance CFC project officer. "Everyone who has donated has been extremely generous, so I thank them very much for that. We're hoping for a strong finish. The Combined Federal Campaign boils down to one thing: helping and serving others," the captain said. "This is exactly why we all joined the Air Force. I hope everyone will take some time to peruse the campaign guide and talk to a squadron CFC representative. I guarantee people will find someone or some organization they connect with and want to support to help make a difference and make this year the best the CFC has seen at Vance." The CFC was established in 1961 and is the largest workplace charity campaign in the country. Last year, federal employees and servicemembers donated a record-setting $268 million. This annual fall fundraising drive allows nearly four million federal employees and military members to contribute to thousands of local and national nonprofit organizations. On average, one in four federal employees or their dependents will benefit from the CFC charities this year, according to CFC officials. Donors may designate which charities receive their money by filling out a pledge card.
