LUKE AIR FORCE BASE, ARIZ. -- The annual 944th Fighter Wing Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) kicked off Sept. 22.

The campaign raises millions of dollars for eligible non-profit organizations that provide health and human service benefits around the world.

"Last year, federal employees contributed more than $1.1 million, supporting more than 1,137 charities," said J. Woodfin Thomas, 2014 Local Federal Coordinating Committee Chairman.

"The theme of this year's Maricopa County CFC campaign is 'Serving Our Country, Supporting Our Community'," Thomas said.
In Maricopa County the window for soliciting donations closes Nov. 7 which gives the 944 FW members two unit training assemblies to fully support the campaign, Oct. 18 to 19 and Nov. 1 to 2.

Master Sgt. Stephen Hunter, 944th Civil Engineer Squadron explosive ordinance and devices program manager, and Tech. Sgt. Kenneth Heng, 944th Medical Squadron medical technician, are the 944th FW CFC representatives.

"Our focus as facilitators for 944th FW is to employ squadron representatives assigned through the First Sergeant network," said Hunter. "The Maricopa county campaign contribution goal is $1.25 million and our goal is to have 'meaningful contact' with everyone in the Wing.
