UNC Asheville Faculty and Staff Sets Sights
on $40,000 Goal for
2009 State Employees Combined Campaign
State employees make a difference in North Carolina every day. But during
the month of November, their impact is even greater.
For more than 20 years, the State Employees Combined Campaign (SECC) has
provided a way for state employees to join together in charitable giving to
some 900 non-profit organizations. Since the first campaign in 1986, more
than $70 million has been raised to benefit North Carolina citizens and
communities.
UNC Asheville faculty and staff are no strangers to the SECC. The University
has long participated in the statewide program. And despite the economic
downturn, last year UNC Asheville faculty and staff donated nearly $40,000.
"This year our goal is to involve more than 40 percent of our campus
employees and to raise more than $40,000," said Ann Martin, UNC Asheville
SECC Committee member.
Other committee members include Holly Beveridge, Jay Cutspec, Debra Liles,
Diane Marlow, Merritt Moseley, Rosie Palmisano, Holly Waltemyer and Ann
Weber.
Donation forms were sent to all faculty and staff through campus mail the
week of October 19. A campaign kick-off was held on Thursday, Oct. 22, which
featured entertainment, refreshments and door prizes as well as remarks by
Chancellor Anne Ponder.
Donations will be accepted until November 30. Pledge cards should be mailed
to Ann Martin, CPO 1430 or can be turned in at an Express Giving Table
located at high traffic areas on campus.
For more information, call Ann Martin at 828/232-5125 or email
amartin@unca.edu.
