CHARLESTON, SC – December 16, 2010 – SPAWAR Systems Center (SSC) Atlantic employees in Charleston, New Orleans, Tidewater and Tampa have shown their generosity in record amounts through Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) donations this season.

Employees at SSC Atlantic’s New Orleans Office donated $20,179 via this year’s Greater New Orleans Area CFC, exceeding last year’s contributions by more than $1,000. Employees at sites in the Tidewater, Va., area donated $29,805, nearly $13,000 more than last year.

SSC Atlantic Commanding Officer Capt. Bruce Urbon commended the SSC Atlantic team for their support of this year’s campaign. “Our CFC success is a direct reflection of the kind of people we have here,” he said. “They have a tradition of giving willingly and selflessly.”
