NASA GREATLY EXCEEDS FEDERAL CAMPAIGN DONATION GOAL
Federal employees at Kennedy Space Center contributed more than $389,000 in
donations to the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) in their recent annual
fund-raising drive surpassing the campaign goal of $294,000, making this
year's donations the largest in history. More than 82 percent of employees
participated in the campaign.
"I am extremely proud of the KSC family," said Center Director Jim Kennedy.
"With the recent hurricanes and the damage and hardships many endured, the
generosity and caring displayed by KSC employees is overwhelming."
CFC chairperson Nap Carroll, said, "The success of this campaign is a result
of the tremendous outpouring of support for those less fortunate than us.
The campaign's success is a reflection of the type of employee's we have
here at KSC. They 'Became the Heroes by Sharing, Caring and Giving'."
The CFC is the annual fund-raising drive conducted nationally by federal
employees in their workplace each fall. Each year, federal employees and
military personnel raise millions of dollars through the CFC that benefits
thousands of non-profit charities.
"The CFC is a most effective way to make your caring count every day," added
Kennedy. "Through the CFC, we are changing lives in the community, our
Nation, and throughout the world. The CFC is 'Caring-Sharing-Helping,' not
just in the fall while we raise funds but year round, by making a positive
difference in people's lives."
