NIHers rose to the CFC challenge this year, made significant contributions to countless lives and causes
Clinical Center employees generously contributed more than $100,000 during this year's campaign. The Clinical Center Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) coordinators and keyworkers worked together to reach out to all hospital staff with reminders and encouragement.
The CFC campaign ran from Sept. 21, 2020, to Jan. 15, 2021. Clinical Center fundraising activities were all online, and included Halloween mask and Holiday outfit photo contests.
"This year was especially challenging, having to navigate and create a virtual campaign – yet through appealing international recipes, hilarious outfit photo contests, you made it happen!" said CC Executive Officer Dan Lonnerdal in a message to the Clinical Center's CFC Core Team and Keyworkers.
Overall, NIH exceeded its 2020 CFC goal by raising more than $1 million for local, national and international charities. NIH donated more funds in this year's campaign than any other agency within the Department of Health and Human Services. Furthermore, for the first time in NIH history, the hospital reached its goal in the first eight weeks of the campaign.
