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.
