Success Story 

Hello Everyone, 

This year could be your chance of a lifetime!  Why do we say lifetime?  Because, this may be the year that you make a difference in someone’s life who is much less fortunate than you.  This may be the year which you are helped.  Just think about it.  Those of you who gave to help the victims of the disastrous tornado in Greensburg, KS last year turned those people into heroes!  Yes, they became heroes because they used your help to rebuild not only the structures of the town, but their personal lives.  They have started to rebuild the city with more personal love and respect for the lives of their neighbors and friends.   

But it does not have to be so spectacular of an event.  There are children in our communities who are not properly clothed for school; people with illnesses that have no cure but can use some assistance; elderly who have little to eat; and the list goes on for a long time. 

Our theme this year is “Dare to Care – A Hero Lies Within You”!  What a great theme to carry us through this year’s campaign.  Just like victims of disasters who come back and help others, we will do just the same.  A hero does truly exist within each of us.  And we can make a big difference in our local community. 

We can help the homeless, the hungry, the oppressed, the weak, the jobless, the ill, the older, the younger, your neighbors, your friends, …..  whew! Where does it stop?  The answer is it does not!  Wherever you go on this earth, you will find them.  Those that need a little help are close to all of us. Our funds help local, national and international communities to help themselves and improve.  If we don’t help, no one will.  All of us have the great fortune to give something back to our world so that it will improve.  And what better way than donating through the Combined Federal Campaign!   

The CFC is your way to make a difference.  Don’t let it pass you by.  This truly can be a chance of a lifetime.  Join us both in making this 2008 CFC the very best one ever.   

Keep in mind that we all should dare to care and that a hero lies within each of us.
