TWU raises more
than $75,000 for 2006 State Employee Charitable Campaign
1/29/07
DENTON –
The more than $75,000 in contributions from Texas Woman’s
University faculty and staff members to the 2006 State Employee
Charitable Campaign exceeded the university’s goal for
2006 and TWU’s 2005 campaign total.
The total amount
of $75,489 TWU contributed to this year’s campaign —
which includes money from fundraisers and contributions or
pledges by individuals — surpassed the TWU goal of $56,000.
This amount raised also topped last year’s total of
$65,629.
The Texas Legislature
created the SECC in 1993 for employees of state agencies,
junior and community colleges and universities throughout
Texas to give to their favorite charities through an annual
workplace giving campaign that features the convenience of
payroll deduction. SECC is the only statutorily authorized
workplace campaign for state agency and higher education employees
throughout Texas. Beneficiaries include local United Way agencies
and other charities that the employee donor can choose to
direct their donated funds.
