It’s not too late to donate to your favorite local charity and support an outstanding cause.
UNCG’s State Employees Combined Campaign (SECC) is in its final week, and Spartan faculty and staff are invited to donate to one or more of their preferred charities.
Breakfast participation was up this year, with 249 attendees up from 209 at last year’s event. This year’s SECC breakfast prize winners were recently announced.
“We have just crossed a milestone for the last week of October. We are now over 50% (toward our goal) – $87,669 from 444 donors,” says SECC chair Barbara Tookey.
That gives UNCG a 15% participation rate at present, which is the highest in the UNC System so far, she notes.
This year’s goal is to beat last year’s figures which were: $173,396 total raised; 801 donors; and a 28% participation rate.
As of October 29, UNCG was at: $111,336 total raised; 550 donors; and a 19% participation rate. Can we do it? UNCG raised over $100,000 in the last few weeks of the campaign last year.
