The Combined Federal Campaign has unveiled a dynamic new campaign theme for 2009 that stresses the importance of independent donors in the current economic crisis. Indeed, charities need assistance "Now More Than Ever."

For $1 per paycheck, a donor can help remove 60 pounds of trash from a beach

For $2 per paycheck, a donor can provide hundreds of pounds of fish for injured or orphan marine mammals

For $10 per paycheck, a donor can provide youth club membership for 60 kids for a year or provide vaccinations for 800 children.

Together, "iCan, uCan, weCan" help a child; save a species; find a cure; rescue a friend; plant a tree; feed the hungry; and lend a hand to our fellow man. The campaign fundraising period for federal employees will run from September 1 through December 15. "uCan" make a difference by donating to your local CFC in 2009.
