Wow, Amazing Job!!

CWA Locals did an incredible job this year of fundraising for our Charity of Choice, the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric Aids Foundation (EGPAF). In 2012 you raised $277,010.36, an almost $25,000 increase over 2011, and a couple hundred dollars shy of what we was raised in 2010 when we had 57,000 more members. I couldn�t be prouder of the work you did.
