Base CFC Campaign Kicks Off Published Oct. 26, 2007 By Alicia Garges SMC Public Affairs Los Angeles Air Force Base -- Los Angeles AFB's Combined Federal Campaign kicked off this week. This year's campaign runs for six weeks until Dec. 6. The theme is "A Time to Care, A Time to Share." Last year, federal employees in Los Angeles County raised $3.94 million dollars - making it the 10th largest campaign area. Los Angeles AFB personnel donated more than $270,000 to that total. This year, the base's goal is to raise at least $314,400 from military and civilian personnel donations. Base personnel can donate through payroll allotments or a one time cash contribution. The minimum payroll deduction is $1 per pay period for civilian employees and $2 per month for military members. Personnel can also designate one or more charities to receive money and a specific dollar amount to be given to that charity. Donors can choose from thousands of charities including cultural, medical, relief, educational, environmental and animal organizations. Each unit's CFC representative has pledge forms and booklets listing available charities and their five-digit CFC code.
