Your CFC Contribution Will Make a Difference

“The Compassion of Individuals, the Power of Community.”

That’s the theme of the nation’s largest workplace fundraising campaign — the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) — now underway in South Florida and across the country. CFC key workers are soliciting donations and will be visiting your work location in the coming weeks.

There are more than 4,000 approved charities eligible to receive your donation --- organizations that provide human services, health care, medical research, disaster relief, housing, youth development, and much more. Locally, the benefits of the CFC charities come back to each one of us in the form of such things as a cleaner environment, a safer neighborhood, and a better education for our children.

How much you give and whether you wish to designate your support to a specific charity is your decision. Most employees elect to pledge an amount to be withheld regularly from their paycheck while others give a one-time gift during the CFC.

Remember, by supporting this year’s campaign, you are helping those who need it most. Your CFC contribution will make a difference!
