Why do you donate? Published Oct. 18, 2007 By Airman 1st Class Kali L. Gradishar 92nd Air Refueling Wing Public Affairs FAIRCHILD AIR FORCE BASE, Wash. -- Since the beginning of the 2007 Combined Federal Campaign many donations have poured in from Airman of all ranks and civilians base-wide. The following are some reasons for contributing to the CFC: "Giving back is my biggest thing. We've been blessed, so we do what we can to give back. The CFC just makes it a convenient way to do that." Master Sgt. Thomas Williams 92nd Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, aircraft section NCOIC "I donate because I feel it's important for me to donate to an important cause. The CFC is a trusted campaign and I know for sure that the money goes where it is supposed to go." Staff Sgt. Laronica Docken 92nd Mission Support Squadron, separations NCOIC "I donate to the CFC because I think we, in the United States, are pretty well off. So, I think it's our responsibility to use that where we can." Capt. William Phillips 93rd Air Refueling Squadron, A Flight commander "I figure that I have it a lot better than others and it's nice to be able to help people out. I know there are a lot of people who have money problems and I like to do what I can to help." Senior Airman David Jones 92nd Security Forces Squadron, vehicles NCOIC "I wanted to help. I saw that others were donating and I thought that it was something that I should do as well. I feel like I should help out where I can, if I can." 2nd Lt. Erik Greendyke 36th Rescue Flight, scheduler "It's always good to give to the less fortunate. The CFC is a great way for people to donate to a better cause, whether it's to fund research, feed the hungry, clothe the needy or enhance the environment." Staff Sgt.
