WASHINGTON — The Defense Department raised a record-high $15.1 million in the 2005 Combined Federal Campaign, exceeding the department’s goal by $2.3 million.

DoD recognized its organizations for their fundraising efforts today at the Combined Federal Campaign awards ceremony in the Pentagon.

“By all of these contributions, you have enabled the Department of Defense to maintain its distinction as the largest single charitable organization in the world,” Michael B. Donley, director of administration and management for the Office of the Secretary of Defense, said to the ceremony participants."
