Still time to donate to Hanscom CFC

Only three weeks into the 2007 Combined Federal Campaign, the Hanscom community is moving closer to its goal of raising $220,000, collecting more than $95,000.

"We're very pleased with the results so far, having collected 43 percent of our goal, but we still have a long way to go," said Capt. Andrew Dorn, CFC representative for Hanscom. "By the end of October we are expecting our unit CFC workers to have made 100 percent contact with all of our Hanscom personnel."

"Generous donations are coming in, and the feedback we are receiving from donors is that they very much appreciate the ease with which donations can be made," said Captain Dorn.

CFC key workers have been helping donors fill out their contribution forms. Once the donor chooses his or her favorite charities from the CFC brochure, it takes less than a minute to complete the contribution form.

"Contribution by payroll deduction is a very popular method," he said. "The CFC facilitates this by forwarding the deduction authorization forms to the military and civilian personnel payroll offices. One-time donations by check or cash are also easily accomplished."

All of Hanscom's wings are sponsoring CFC events in a spirited competition to see which can raise the most funds to help meet Hanscom's goal.

Anyone wishing to support this year's campaign can stop by the Minuteman Club this Tuesday for Steak Night. All proceeds from the event will be donated to Hanscom's CFC drive. The cost is $15 and includes a steak dinner and a chance to win a raffle drawing.
