Children’s AIDS Fund International Attends 2014 Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) Kick-off in Washington D.C.

The Children’s AIDS Fund International was one of eight charities invited to attend the Kick-Off Combined Federal Campaign Celebration in Washington D.C.  of the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) Court Services and Offenders Supervision Agency (CSOSA) and The Pre-trial Services Agency (PSA).  In addition to the kick-off event a 9/11 observance ceremony was conducted.  Both events were attended by members of the DOJ and CFC Leadership.  The theme for the Opening Ceremony was “Make it Possible.” Ms. P. Kim Pham, Loaned Executive, CFC, gave especially poignant comments, explaining how as a small child she and her family were helped by a CFC charity to escape and relocate from Vietnam to the US.

In 2013, federal employees donated over $51 million dollars to participating CFC charities. 

The CFC is the largest and most successful workplace fundraising campaign in the world.  The CFC of the National Capital Area (CFCNCA) is the local campaign for federal employees in the Washington Metropolitan Area.  This is one of the most important charity campaigns for CAFI, with the nation’s capital so close to CAFI offices.  In 2013, federal employees donated over $51 million dollars to participating CFC charities.

CAFI has participated in the CFC for over 16 years; raising thousands of dollars for children and families who have been impacted by HIV/AIDS.   If anyone you know works in the federal government or is a member of the military let them know about the important work CAFI is doing to help limit the suffering of children and families affected by HIV.  Ask them to visit our website and read about our ongoing programs which benefit thousands of children and families, or better yet, forward them one of our emails highlighting our work.  Thanks for your help.
