CFC 2014 is underway Published Oct. 31, 2014 By Staff Sgt. Abigail Klein 931st Air Refueling Group Public Affairs MCCONNELL AIR FORCE BASE, Kan. -- The 2014 Combined Federal Campaign has kicked off at McConnell. The campaign is an effort to help Airmen and civilian employees find a charity to benefit. There are more than 2,000 non-profit organizations McConnell Airmen can donate to. The campaign runs from Sept. 1 until Dec. 15, 2014; however, McConnell's solicitation period is Oct. 20 to Nov. 19, 2014. "CFC is unique in that you have an abundance of organizations in one place that you can choose from and give to that are close to your heart, close to your life experience or even because you went down the list and liked what you read about one," said 1st Lt. Greg Brashier, 18th Air Refueling Squadron crew scheduler, and the 931st ARG point-of-contact. "There is an organization for everyone and this is a great way to support your community, country and fellow man, woman, and child." Unlike many other campaigns, the main goal for CFC is not a monetary number; instead CFC is aimed at providing 100 percent face-to-face contact with each member of the unit. Last year the team McConnell raised approximately $85,000 in donations. "CFC is important not only because it allows our Airmen to benefit charities worldwide, it also allows us to give back to the community, which supports us so much," said Col. Mark S. Larson, 931st ARG commander. Any Reservists wishing to contribute can contact Brashier to get a booklet of charities and a donation slip.
