National Drug Intelligence Center (NDIC) Employees Pledge More
than $56,000 to Local and National Charities
Johnstown, PA - Employees of the National Drug Intelligence Center
(NDIC), a component agency of the U.S. Department of Justice, located
in Johnstown have donated $56,328 to local and national charities
as part of the federal government's annual Combined Federal Campaign
(CFC). This is the largest amount contributed to the charitable
campaign by NDIC employees in the agency's 14-year history. A significant
portion of this year's proceeds is once again projected to be donated
to the local United Way of the Laurel Highlands. "NDIC employees
have responded generously this year and exceeded the agency's goal
of $53,000," CFC Chairman Rich Nagy said. "In addition to soliciting
the typical pledges, we supplemented our activities with other motivating
events including dress down days, bake sales, and the first Managers-vs.-Staff
Basketball Extravaganza." These events kept awareness elevated throughout
the campaign which ran from October 4, 2006 through January 4, 2007.
"All of the money raised through supplemental events is earmarked
for the United Way of the Laurel Highlands in Johnstown," Nagy explained.
"I am impressed by the generosity of and community spirit of
the NDIC employees. They show the strength of their good will and
character every day and the CFC campaign is one more way they contribute
to the world around them," said Acting Director Irene Hernandez.
The CFC is the only authorized solicitation of employees in the
Federal workplace on behalf of charitable organizations. Each year
Federal employees and military personnel raise millions of dollars
through the CFC that benefits thousands of non-profit charities.
