SHEPPARD AIR FORCE BASE, Texas --  Sheppard exceeded its goal this year, raising more than $328,000 from
1,683 donors during the Combined Federal Campaign fundraiser Sept. 2 through Oct. 9. 

The generosity of the Sheppard community helped the base surpass its goal of $265,000. 

"Considering the economy as well as two A-76 actions, the base excelled," said Lt. Col. Michael Braucher, commander of the 365th Training Squadron and Sheppard's CFC chairman. "Airmen in Training were particularly generous with their limited resources, but it was a team effort with many extra duty hours by key workers and volunteers."

The colonel said Team Sheppard really came through for another great year of the CFC fundraising.
