The kickoff breakfasts for the Combined Federal Campaign lured in $2,400 in donations to launch what's been an outstanding campaign so far, said 1st Lt. Travis Hough, co-coordinator for the base drive.

The total exceeds last year's donations of approximately $1,800 by one-third, according to news stories.

Tinker Air Force Base leaders served hundreds of hungry military and civilian personnel at pancake breakfasts Oct. 1 and 3 at Bldgs. 3001 and 460, while the 552nd Air Control
Wing served breakfast burritos.

The Tinker campaign goal this year is a little over $1.2 million.
Halfway through the campaign that's scheduled to end Nov. 15, Lieutenant Hough said "everything's been going outstandingly well."

"The reception of the campaign so far has been great," he added.

Donors can give to more than 24,000 charities, which cover areas of needs ranging from medical research, poverty and housing to the arts, animal welfare and the environment.

How to give

Personnel can donate by filling out a pledge form, which can be obtained through an organizational key worker, or online through MyPay at https://mypay.dfas.mil/mypay.aspx.
