Curtis Walker and Gary Beets, 2009 CFC Co-Chairs

If we had to describe the 2009 Combined Federal Campaign in one word it would be “awesome”!  By raising $4,069,069 the campaign went from an initial theme of  “ICan…” to one of  “WeDid”!  This represents the first time for the Heartland Federal Region to surpass the $4 million dollar mark!  What makes this new level of contributing impressive is the fact that it was done in a period of economic slowdown.   The success enjoyed by the Heartland CFC ran contrary to most charitable campaigns conducted in 2009. 

The formula for turning what could have been a down year in to the success it was, stems from two sources.  First, was the giving and caring attitude of the Federal community—both civilian and military.  In spite of economic uncertainty, you understood the importance of helping people in need and stepped up to make our respective communities better places to live and work.  Secondly, second was the special efforts put forth by Agency Heads, the CFC cabinet members, loaned executives, agency campaign coordinators, special committees, union leaders, and everyone that may have made a contact on behalf of the CFC that helped to get the word out and raise needed funds for our community.  The individual and collective efforts of these individuals served as the proverbial “heartbeat” of the campaign—pumping the life and energy needed to nurture an extremely successful campaign. 

As we close out the 2009 campaign, we look back with pride and appreciation of what has been accomplished and we Thank You so very much!
