Carolina will kick off its part in the annual fundraiser, the State Employees
Combined Campaign, on Oct. 4.
With a theme of "Partners in Giving," organizers hope to raise $1 million for
local, state and national non-profit organizations through the Orange County
Campaign, which runs from Oct. 4 through Nov. 10. Last year's goal for Carolina
was $830,000, and the campus raised $935,000.
Sue Kitchen, vice chancellor for student affairs and SECC co-chair, said that
the 2000 campaign offers employees a wonderful opportunity to support agencies
that provide services right here at home and also to those that make a
difference around the world.
"The State Employees Combined Campaign is the only state-approved fund-raising
campaign that allows employees to payroll deduct their contributions, and they
can give to one or as many causes as they want to support," Kitchen said.
This year, the campaign will kick off with a volunteer rally in the auditorium
of the Student Union on Oct. 4 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. All volunteers are
encouraged to attend the rally and those that do will have a chance to win door
prizes.
"The volunteer rally is a chance to really bolster enthusiasm for the
month-long campaign and educate everyone on agencies that are available to
support. We also want to show our volunteers how much we appreciate their hard
work," Kitchen said.
Among the door prizes are tickets to the Maryland football game, family
memberships to Morehead Planetarium and books from the Bull's Head Bookshop.
"I want to encourage faculty and staff to stop by the fair," Kitchen said.
"It's the wonderful way for people to learn about the campaign and the agencies
it supports and ask questions about how their money will be used.
"The SECC is such an easy way for employees to support causes that matter to
them most and they can do that by designating their gifts.
"By attending the agency fair and carefully reviewing the agencies listed in
the campaign booklet or on the SECC web page, employees can give where they
feel it will do the most good."
