 Yacosca's combined federal campaign got off to a running start with a 5k run and fundraiser at this year's CFC kickoff event. The day began with a brief explanation of what the CFC is, followed by a cake cutting to commemorate the event. The CFC Overseas Campaign is important to sailors, both sailors and DOD civilians, because it gives them the unique opportunity to donate to their charity of choice. Today is our kickoff event, we're hosting a barbecue. We're also at the same time doing a 5k run, just to bring awareness to the community that the event has started.
