The SoCal CFC has two charity events coming up in Long Beach & Los Angeles areas on 9/24 and 10/1. Both events will be held right before an area-wide CFC Coordinator Training, so we hope to have a variety of federal agency representatives in attendance for you to share your charity's story.

We strongly encourage you to visit our website, specifically the Event Calendar, on a regular basis to check on the events your charity can sign up to participate in. 

Below is the link for the SoCal CFC Event Calendar. Click on each charity kick off event on 9/24 and 10/1 to sign up.

​If you have any questions or concerns regarding charity events with SoCal CFC, please feel free to reach out to jmarcial.cfc@kaptivategroup.com.

CFC-related events for the zones listed below will be posted on the local zone website calendars (a link to each zone calendar can be found below). Don’t be alarmed if you visit the calendars and don’t see many events right now; they are just starting to populate the calendar with events and more will be posted as agencies make their CFC plans.
 
Here are four simple steps to CFC event participation:
1. Visit the local zone event calendar (see zone list below).
2. Click on the calendar item of interest to learn details of the event.
4. Click the registration form link for charities, fill out the form, agree to event participation guidelines and then click “submit.”
5. Receive a confirmation email from the organizer about attending, or in cases where there are space limitations, that you’ve been randomly selected to participate.
 
Clicking on the calendar item of interest will display the following information:
1.   Basic information about the event (who, what, when, where)
2.   Deadline for charities to register
3.   Security requirements
4.   Contact information
5.   Web-based charity registration form for charities to complete if they are interested in attending
6.   Required documentation that must be read and agreed upon with rules for event participation
 
In some cases, the sign-up process may vary slightly, so please pay close attention to the instructions given on the website calendar.

Please note: completing the registration form does not guarantee you a spot at the event. If more charities sign up for an event than the space can accommodate, a random drawing of all charities that signed up by the deadline will be completed and charities that were selected in the “lottery” will be notified via email. For all events, only selected charities will receive an email confirming attendance to the event with additional details. Please do not show up to attend a CFC event unless you receive a confirmation email from the event organizer!
