John Wozniak - Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
Raised $3,917 with 20 out of 22 potential donors
Mr. Wozniak has been a CFC key worker for the PGH Area Office of the
EEOC for 15 + years. He truly takes pride in volunteering annually
for this assignment. The key ingredient in getting people to his meetings
is always the wonderful EMOG (early morning office gathering) that
he has before his presentation (donuts, bagels, juice and fruit). Each
year he has a very impressive increase in the giving. (Last year 17.84%
increase.) Believe me he does a great job, and he is worthy of any
recognition he can receive.
Patricia Oleska - U.S. Citizenship and Immigration
Services
Since Trish began participating in the CFC our office has seen
a significant increase in total contributions. In 2005, our employees
contributed
$1,335.00. This contribution amount jumped over 300% during the years
Trish assisted to $4,034.00 in 2006 and $4,148.80 in 2007. Our office
has matching contributions pledged through employees; before calculating
matching contributions we saw the amount of each individual’s
donation increase 51% from 2005 to 2006 and another 28% from 2006 to
2007. Trish’s efforts were instrumental in achieving a significant
individual donor increase and a CFC Gold Award for USCIS Pittsburgh
for two years in a row.

VETERANS AFFAIRS
Patricia Caldwelll - VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System
In the 2007, Ms. Caldwell spearheaded the organization of several
fundraisers to benefit the CFC. Her ideas and actions have lead
to very successful
fundraising and awareness events, which are on target to raise
close to $10,000. Ms. Caldwell has dedicated a great deal of her
personal
time and resources to making these events successful. Ms. Caldwell
also volunteered to represent VAPHS in the 3 Rivers CFC Kick-off
event, for which she cooked chili and purchased special
costumes
and decorations (earning an award for best table presentation). Ms.
Caldwell has been a staunch supporter for CFC for the past several
years. She has dedicated a great deal of time to organizing
events,
trying to create awareness and enthusiasm, and always making a
substantial pledge herself. Prior to 2006, she has led the committee
and served
(in capacity when not in title) as the chairperson for VAPHS CFC
campaigns.
David Cowgill - VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System
David Cowgill is serving as the chairperson for the over 3,000-employee VA Pittsburgh
Healthcare System for the second year in a row. Even though the 2006 VAPHS
CFC was the most successful in its history, Mr. Cowgill wanted to raise the
bar even higher. He is on target to reach his personally-established goal
and exceed 2006’s VAPHS CFC collections by approximately 50%. Under
Mr. Cowgill’s guidance, two stations have doubled their 2006 results.
Because of Mr. Cowgill’s ideas and personal commitment, hundreds of
charities all throughout the region will be receiving a much heartier CFC
result. Mr. Cowgill has also served on the LFCC for the 2007 campaign.
Mr. Cowgill also won the 2006 & 2007 Hero Award in Washington D.C. Below are reports from the 2007 campaign.
