Station members raise more than $99,000 for CFC Overseas

14 Jan 2010 | Lance Cpl. Claudio A. Martinez Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, Japan

Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron 12 supply received a bronze award for 41.4% participation within their section.

According to the CFC-O Web site, the campaign is the largest and most successful workplace philanthropic fundraiser in the world and continues a tradition of selfless giving by federal employees.

In a memorandum for department and agency heads posted on the CFC-O Web site, John Berry, the CFC director said, “We need to show the American people who federal workers really are. For over three decades, federal workers have been denigrated and maligned.”

“These attacks have hurt recruitment, they’ve hurt retention, and ultimately, they impair our ability to serve the American people. With all the challenges we face today, we need the best and brightest in federal government. We need to bring pride back to federal service,” he added.

In the memorandum, Berry said he believed Federal employees to be big-hearted people, and the CFC is perhaps the best demonstration of that by providing help to the various individuals who depend on the charities for aid.

According to the CFC-O Web Site, the campaign began in the early 1960’s and has succesfully coordinated the fundraising efforts of various charitable organizations around the world and has given aide in monatary donations numbering in the millions each year.
