SCOTT AIR FORCE BASE, Ill. --  The Combined Federal Campaign began Oct. 5 at Scott Air Force Base and this year's theme is "We Make It Possible!"

This year the base's pledge goal is $650,000 and as of Oct. 9 $52,899 has already been pledged.

According to the CFC, last year more than 7,000 federal, military and postal employees in the Gateway CFC region--which includes and extends beyond Scott AFB-- pledged $2,445,527 to the CFC.

Members can pledge online through MyPay or with a paper copy through base representatives.

The CFC has 3,054 local, national and international charities which applied and were accepted to participate in the Gateway CFC catalog. Online you can find all the local organizations accepted across the country, and easily search for favorites from more than 20,000 charities.

"I am proud of our accomplishments and look forward to exceeding this year's goals," said Charles "Steve" Camerer, chairperson of the Gateway CFC Leadership Committee and a program analyst at Air Mobility Command headquarters. "I am honored to serve this year as the Chair for the Gateway Leadership Committee and humbled by the efforts of the thousands of volunteers who are the true heroes. 'We Make it Possible!'"

Maj. Melody Jones is the Scott CFC chairperson and Master Sgt. Sean Henriquez is the vice chairperson.
