Success Story 

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!  

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.
