Robins Combined Federal Campaign kicks off Published Sept. 27, 2013 By Jenny Gordon Robins Public affairs ROBINS AIR FORCE BASE, Ga. -- The Robins 2013 Combined Federal Campaign season kicks off once again in early October. This year's campaign runs Oct. 8 through Nov. 22. The early bird deadline is Oct. 25. Sixty organizations across Robins received early bird recognition last year. The Middle Georgia CFC, which covers 17 counties, has a tentative goal this year of $1.4 million. "This year's campaign theme, 'Serving our Country and Supporting our Community' is an excellent reason to support the CFC," said Mark Shores, CFC chair. "We all know our community and country is challenged more now than ever to support those who are in need. This is an opportunity to give back." There are currently more than 30 super monitors representing organizations across the base, with more than 200 additional key workers and volunteers. A new feature this year is the option to donate online using 'myPay' when employees access their leave and earning statements. That option is voluntary. Hard copy pledge cards will be distributed too. Robins has exceeded its goal every year since 2002, according to Paul Nagle, CFC director. In 2011 - the latest figures available - local organizations were the recipients of more than $638,000; national organizations, more than $943,000; and the rest distributed among international organizations and others. The world's largest annual workplace giving campaign, CFC was created in 1961 when then-President John F. Kennedy authorized the U.S. Civil Service Commission to develop guidelines and regulate fundraising in the federal service. CFC is authorized and regulated by the US Office of Personnel Management.
