PASADENA, Calif., April 29 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- National military
support nonprofit Soldiers' Angels proudly announces its inclusion in the 2009
Combined Federal Campaign (CFC), an effort to encourage philanthropy among
United States Government employees.  This opportunity increases the
organization's visibility and respectability, building on its growing
reputation for providing a wide variety of powerful and personalized support
for service members, military families and veterans of all branches.  

During the yearly "campaign season" of September 1 through December 15, CFC
provides federal civil servants, military personnel, political appointees and
elected politicians with a list of verified and respectable charities they can
be confident in supporting.  Donations are collected through payroll
deductions, offering employees the chance to make gifts that add up to
substantial support over a twelve-month period.

Soldiers' Angels founder Patti Patton-Bader is excited to be included in the
upcoming campaign.  "We've been working very hard to meet CFC's guidelines and
we are so thrilled to be a part of the campaign this year.  It makes it so
much easier for people to donate to Soldiers' Angels and will help us continue
the important work of taking care of our military and their families."

As a CFC-approved charity, Soldiers' Angels has been subject to extensive
review of its financial and governance practices, auditing performance and
program activities, ensuring federal employees can be confident in supporting
the organization.  The approved status also gives Soldiers' Angels the
opportunity to participate in meetings, exhibits and other events hosted at
federal agencies and departments during campaign season, including providing
speakers and other representatives.  

Established in 2003, Soldiers' Angels is a volunteer-based 501(c)(3) providing
aid and comfort to the men and women of the United States Army, Marines, Navy,
Air Force and Coast Guard, as well as veterans and military families through a
