Thanks to generous contributions by CSC employees, as well as a corporate donation of $150,000, over $300,000 has been raised to date for the “CSC Gives Back to Military Families” campaign that began May 5.
Mike Laphen, CSC Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer: “I am pleased to announce that CSC has partnered with a CharityWorks to support their fundraising efforts to provide that ‘home away from home,’ and give back to our military and their families in a personal way for the sacrifices they have made for the freedoms we all share. This year, CSC will host the CharityWorks Dream Ball on September 27, 2008, to honor the work of the Fisher House and encourage other companies and organizations to also join us in supporting this important fundraising event.”
The goal of the campaign is to help CharityWorks raise $2 million to build a Fisher House on the grounds of the Veterans Medical Center in Washington, D.C. The Fisher House program offers “comfort homes” across the nation where America’s military families can stay free of charge during extended treatment for a serious illness or lengthy physical and/or occupational therapy. Employees who give $100 or more will be eligible for a special raffle where the winner and guest will be invited to attend the CharityWorks Dream Ball.
