2008 Chair's Letter

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

Each year the Combined Federal Campaign accomplishes a great deal in alleviating suffering, supporting challenged youth and assisting so many less fortunate than ourselves. May we and our loved ones never need such assistance; however we can be confident a helping hand will always be there should the need arise.

We Americans are known throughout the world as a generous people. It is one of our defining characteristics: our willingness to contribute our time, wealth and energies to worthy causes. This spirit of giving was recognized by Alexis de Tocqueville, a French student of American democracy in the 1830s. He wrote of America’s success as being largely attributable to our willingness as a people to give of ourselves for the common good.

As the Chair of this year’s Campaign, I ask for your support for those less fortunate. Many of you within the Federal Community are steadfast supporters of the CFC. Your consistent support of the causes you care about through the years has been critical and your continuing contributions are no less so. I thank each and every one of you.

Those of you within the Federal Community who are not yet regular participants, I ask that you take a fresh look and consider what you really care about, and what we can do collectively if we all assist in whatever way we can. There are so many opportunities to make a real difference.

We all have full lives and the real advantage of very important and gainful employment. As Federal employees we enjoy a lifestyle more secure and better than most. For this we can be grateful.

America is the nation it is today in large part due to the spirit of generosity and sacrifice that has brought us together for generations. We all have a vested interest in contributing to the common good.

Through this charity list and the online resources available at www.yourcfc.org, the CFC makes it possible for all, of us with a minimum of effort, to address our heartfelt interests. You can readily find numerous opportunities to help in a meaningful way. Once you find the cause(s) that resonate for you, a simple request to make a payroll deduction will begin to make a difference.

Please search your heart and support this years CFC and the causes you believe in.

With my deepest appreciation,
