A Message from Rodger Matthews,
CFC Campaign Co-Chair
Thanks for making the 2006 CFC campaign such a
rousing success and helping us raise a record breaking total of
$3,049,200. Those magnificent gifts will improve lives in our community
and beyond throughout the year. It is my honor to serve as your Co-Chair
for the 2007 CFC Campaign.
Our theme this year is Give
a little…Help a lot! With
the numbers of federal employees declining through attrition and down
sizing, our task becomes more of a challenge. However, federal employees
have always, and will continue to step up to the plate to provide needed
assistance to our community.
This year, the Heartland CFC has expanded to
include the
Kansas City
,
Topeka
, and
Fort
Riley
areas, as well as all of northeast and western
Kansas
. Now more than ever, federal employees across the state will be able to
participate in the CFC Campaign and help local and regional charities.
These economics of scale will ensure low costs to the campaign
and thus more of your donation going directly to your charity of choice.
The recent natural disasters, such as the tornado
in
Greensburg
,
KS
have really brought to light how lives can change in just an instant.
With your generous giving, together we can help our local communities as
well as continue the support for people along our throughout our nation.
We can “help
a lot” of the children in our community, as your giving helps to
provide a safe place for them to learn and grow. We can “give
a lot” to improve the lives for the hungry, the homeless and the
abused. Your giving can support local, national & international
charities that are working hard to provide these critical services for
those in their time of need.
At some point in your life, you will be touched by
a charity that benefits from CFC gifts. Whether it is a personal
situation for you or a family member, or a friend, co-worker or neighbor
who is affected by cancer or some other debilitating disease.
Your CFC team is working hard to continue the fine
tradition of screening charities to ensure that your hard earned dollars
are doing what you intended when you donated.
Whether the charity you select is local, regional or national,
the same high standards of charity operating costs will be observed.
There are many reasons to give – but the most
important of all is because you want to make a difference in someone’s
life. Your campaign gift to CFC shows how caring and concerned you are
about your community. YOUR support makes a difference. Thank you.
Give
a little…Help a lot! |
A Message from Sandra Champion-Jones,
CFC Campaign Co-Chair
Give a little…Help a lot!
We all can be great, because we all can give!
I am proud to serve as the 2007 CFC Labor Co-Chair.
This role has provided an exciting opportunity to meet wonderful
community leaders who support the CFC, but most appreciated is my
opportunity to encourage giving!
Federal agencies throughout our community are
experiencing great challenges and change.
Among those are the increasing number of employees eligible for
retirement and the increasing number of younger employees.
We are fortunate that those who came before us understood the
need to give and wrote the CFC into federal regulations.
They also set the example by giving.
My goal this year is to reach out to the younger federal employee
population and ask them to give.
With your help and support, we can increase the number of federal
employees that are asked to give and ultimately increase giving in the
Heartland CFC community!
Many local, national and international charities
have been supported through CFC contributions. At
some point in our lives, we may need the support of one of these
charities or we may know someone who will.
Whether affected by a major medical crisis or natural disaster,
there are charities and organizations that are available and willing to
help. These charities and
organizations need our support.
Our community, our country and our world have all
benefited from the principle concept of people helping people.
We must stay the tradition of helping each other.
It is our right and our duty.
CFC provides an opportunity for each of us to make a difference,
by giving! Your campaign
contribution will help a lot!
CFC is not a management program or a labor program.
It is a joint endeavor to support charities and organizations
that support us, our families and friends, our neighbors and our
communities.
Please join me is selecting your charity of choice
from the CFC catalog. You
may then elect to make a one-time donation or to give all year through
payroll deduction. Whether
you choose to support CFC by either method, your gift
will make a difference and can change someone’s life.
Give a little…Help a lot!
