Fort Campbell, KY – Fort Campbell recognized installation personnel who led the way in the post exceeding its annual Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) goal on Tuesday, January 22th, 2013.
The goal for the 2012 campaign was $800,000 and more than $870,000 was raised through donations and pledges, according to Maj. Gen. James C. McConville, the commander of the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault). “We ask so much of our Soldiers, our Families and our civilians. Every time we ask you to come through,” said McConville. “The CFC is where we can reach out, and during this campaign you gave a lot. It was a team effort”
Others were awarded trophies and certificates of appreciation during the ceremony and were individually thanked McConville and Valerie Crocker the Fort Campbell CFC director.
“I want to thank the donors who took the time to fill out that pledge form to do something good,” said Crocker. She closed by saying, “Never forget that no matter how overwhelming life challenges may be, one person can make a difference in this world.”
CFC is the world’s largest and most successful annual workplace charity campaign, with more than 200 CFC campaigns throughout the country and internationally to help to raise millions of dollars each year. Pledges made by Federal civilian, postal and military donors during the campaign season support eligible non-profit organizations that provide health and human service benefits throughout the world.
The mission of the Fort Campbell Area Combined Federal Campaign is to promote and support philanthropy through a program that is employee focused, cost-efficient and effective in providing all federal employees the opportunity to improve the quality of life for all.
