When you contribute to the SECC, your donation joins

other state employee donations to become a larger,

more powerful gift. Together, these gifts amount to

an incredible difference ¨C for the charities, those they

serve, and our state as a whole.

We are proud to serve as your 2020 SECC Co-Chairs.

We are energized by your generosity, the enthusiasm

of our fellow SECC volunteers, and the powerful impact

we have all made throughout the years. We know this

year will be a challenge given the COVID-19 pandemic,

which has impacted all of us. However, this year also

gives the opportunity to make an even greater impact

through the charities we care about. The organizations

that serve critical causes need us more than ever, and,

TOGETHER, we can be the difference.

We look forward to accomplishing great things

together again this year!
