Combined Federal Campaign: Give Happy and Make a Difference!
CFC GIVE HAPPY banner

The Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) launched its annual season of giving on Wednesday, October 9th, in the Headquarters Auditorium. More than 100 attendees gathered to hear guest speakers Ashleigh Sorrell Rose from the United Way of Central Oklahoma and Carrie Sauer from the Homeless Alliance, who highlighted the transformative impact of CFC contributions on their organizations.

This year’s campaign promises to be as engaging as ever, with "Cause Weeks" highlighting various charitable themes. Every Wednesday, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., employees can explore in-person charity events at the Blue Sky Cafè through December. These events provide a unique opportunity to connect with local charities and learn about their missions.

Following the CFC Kick-off, which was strongly supported by Aeronautical Center leadership, the Center hosted the first-ever MMAC Fall Festival. The event brought hundreds of employees together who enjoyed food trucks, music, interactive charity booths, and festive activities. Even the Aeronautical Center mascot (Air Bear) made an appearance!
