2007 CFC Heroes & Other Stories

CIVILIAN
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.

MILITARY
LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT WINNER
John “Casey” Lengyel - 911th Airlift Wing-CC

Raised $11,470 with 51 donors
John “Casey” Lengyel has been the Campaign Coordinator for the CFC for 11 years. This year is a special year for him. Not only did he work his full time job as Budget Analysis and run a successful CFC campaign with the support of several Keyworkers: Captain Tanaka Dunn, Captain Charles Knapp & Lt Col Prospero “Peppy” Castelluccio, but Casey underwent Cochlear Implant surgery, allowing him to hear the world around him for the first time since he was seven years old.

LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT WINNER
Brian Schill - Retired - PA Air National Guard

Brian has served on the LFCC for several years and worked as the Campaign Manager for the PA Air National guard for 7 years before retiring in 2006. During his term he raised participation rate by 32% (125 contributors/392 employees), raising over $20,000 each year. This year Mr. Schill followed up with many organizations to assist them with their campaign and encouraged new donors.

USPS
Ginette Simpson - – Hostetter USPS

Ginette is the Postmaster of Hostetter, Pennsylvania and is entering her 31st year with the United States Postal Service. She has been involved with the CFC for over 10 years. This year she retired as Loan Executive for the CFC, but was still an LFCC Board Member. With crunch time looming on the 2007 USPS donations, Ginette jumped in a grabbed the old “LE” hat. She called the MANY USPS offices, built momentum and assisted in the final wrap up of the incoming USPS donations. In December, she assisted in bringing in $200,000 by the 12/14/07 deadline!

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.
