A Message from Our Co-Chairs

On behalf of the more than 28,000 Postal Employees, Federal Government Workers, and Military personnel in Northern New Jersey, we are pleased and honored to serve as the 2011-2012 Combined Federal Campaign Co-chairs. The New Jersey Federal Community has participated in the Combined Federal Campaign for 50 years and we know first hand that we are making a difference in what matters by supporting this campaign. Furthermore, because of your continued support and commitment to the CFC, our family, friends and community can continue to grow and strive.

The Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) is your opportunity to make your local, national, and international community a better place to live, work and play. Why should you give to the Combined Federal Campaign? There are many reasons. Primarily, the Combined Federal Campaign is the only charitable campaign:

• endorsed and conducted by federal employees, civilian and military, throughout the country;
• that allows YOU to select where your money goes and supports the organizations and causes that mean the most to you;
• that allows YOU to make your contribution through an easy payroll deduction plan.

Last year, the Northern New Jersey CFC raised more than $1.3 million to fund more than 1600 charitable organizations locally, nationally and internationally. The need for donations grows annually. In the past year, donated dollars supported our military personnel and their families, brought relief to those affected by natural disasters, or found new treatments for chronic and fatal diseases like diabetes and cancer. The need for programs and services continues to grow and with your help, we hope to surpass last year's goal. This is a great challenge, but if "We dare to care, we can make a difference in what matters!"

Please join us and millions of other federal workers this year, our 50th anniversary, by making a generous contribution to the charitable organization of your choice, today. We want to express our heart felt gratitude to all of those who not only contribute financially, but also volunteer their time and services to ensure a successful campaign.
