Smoky Mountain Region Combined Federal Campaign Announces 2006 Chair
August 31, 2006
TVA Senior Vice President of Communications Peyton Hairston will chair the 2006 Smoky Mountain Region Combined Federal Campaign, which is held annually to give federal employees an opportunity to contribute to charitable, health and human service organizations.
The kick off for this year’s CFC is scheduled for Friday, Sept. 8, at TVA’s Knoxville Office Complex. Participating federal agencies will complete their campaigns in November. As chair, Hairston will oversee the 22-county Smoky Mountain Region spanning across East Tennessee and parts of North Carolina, Kentucky and Virginia.
“This year’s theme, “I make a difference,” captures the essence of what a combined federal campaign is all about,” said Hairston. “The CFC gives federal employees an opportunity to generously give back time and money to help make a difference in a community where they live and work. Their contributions can make a difference for years to come.”
Federal employees who will assist Hairston and Suzan Bowman of TVA, who is the local federal coordinating campaign chair, include Terrell Burkhart, TVA executive campaign manager; Kelley Murray and Karen Ford of TVA, campaign co-chairs; Kim Lubienski and Tyrone Scott, TVA loaned executives; and Norimi Bradner and LeWan Davis, U.S. Postal Service loaned executives.
The 2005 Smoky Mountain Region CFC raised more the $880,000 for local and national charitable organizations, exceeding the campaign goal of $750,000. Smoky Mountain Region CFC has collected donations of more than $3.5 million since 2001.
Funds raised through 365 federal campaigns conducted nationwide support more than 1,900 local, national and international charitable agencies.
