2019 CFD Recognition Online Event

THANK YOU VOLUNTEERS!

The Combined Fund Drive (CFD), in partnership with the Thurston County CFD Steering Committee, hosts the annual 2019 Combined Fund Drive Volunteer Recognition event. This event honors and celebrates the accomplishments of state employees and state agencies for their amazing efforts in supporting charities.

In response to the Governor’s “Stay Home, Stay Healthy" order, the 2019 Combined Fund Drive Volunteer Recognition event was cancelled. We want to recognize those nominated and acknowledge all their hard work supporting charities throughout the past year.

We appreciate all the ways you and your agency helped raise awareness and funding for CFD charities.

Please share this award website with your agency and co-workers!
