MAKE IT POSSIBLE

The Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) is the world's largest and most successful annual workplace charity campaign, with more than 140 CFCs located everywhere Federal employees work. Last year, military, civilian and postal employees contributed more than $190 million to more than 20,000 local, national and international charities. Members of the military and DoD civilians accounted for more than $80 million of that total. Once again this year, Defense Department employees worldwide have the opportunity to give to their favorite charities from Sept. 1, 2015 to Dec. 31, 2015. In his memo, Defense Secretary Ash Carter expressed his unwavering support for the campaign and strongly encouraged members of the workforce to participate in any way they can.

Artwork Contest

For the sixth year, the Combined Federal Campaign-Overseas partnered with the Department of Defense Education Activity to run an Elementary School Art Contest. Overseas DoDDS elementary school students submitted original artwork to help inspire charitable giving through the CFC-O, tailoring drawings to illustrate the contest theme: Give to make a difference. Give because you care.

Participation is entirely voluntary and is encouraged as a 'homework' assignment thereby involving parents and rippling the campaign message through the community. Hundreds of submissions were received from over 15 schools. Contestants were judged by a panel of DoD members based in Washington, D.C. based on artistic merit, creativity and depiction of the theme. First through third place winners were chosen in each grade level.

All participating students received a sticker and a Certificate of Achievement signed by the CFC-O Executive Director, Victoria Adams. The first-place winners in each grade will receive a framed copy of their original artwork. All winners will be promoted via press releases, on the CFC-O website and via social media. Winning artwork will be featured in CFC-O promotional materials throughout 2015.
