December 1, Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, Walter Reid Medical Complex, Bethesda, MD.

Three 501(C)(3) charities spoke to an audience of around 500 students, faculty and staff at Uniformed Services University ( USU) of the Health Sciences. Montgomery Hospice, a room and board service for families of ill children called Ronald McDonald House, and African PTSD Relief (CFC donation # 94568) each talked for 1-2 minutes about their charities. The students combined a talent show with the  fund raising drive for Combined Federal Campaign (CFC). We presented to a full dining hall.

The original plan was for the CFC organizers to speak and give an overview of Combined Federal Campaign, but founding President of African PTSD Relief David Shapiro encouraged them to give 1-2 minutes for each organization to allow each to give an overview of his or her own worthy cause. CFC organizers felt that was a good idea, so they adjusted the schedule to allow the 3 charities to address the audience.

​The highlights of the 9-performance medical school student talent show were a lady dancing classical Indian dance and a bassoonist who had  a music major in his undergraduate school; he had excellent tone and technique, playing a somewhat avant-garde, free-form tone poem. 

A psychiatry professor in the Medical School, who was  in the audience, enthusiastically approached David after the presentation and asked to meet with African PTSD Relief to discuss our strategy.
