Many of those who have been hit hardest by the COVID-19 pandemic are those who were already the most in need.

You can help.

Each fall, state employees have the opportunity to learn about the charities in the State Employee Charitable Campaign (SECC) and donate to those they wish to help. Texas Woman’s University employees historically have been very gracious in their giving, and TWU has won multiple awards for participation and per capita giving in the campaign.

This year, our SECC goal is $100,000 and 100% participation. Every dollar raised helps those in need. Giving can be done through payroll deductions or one-time pledges and through SECC events. Torchbearers won’t be distributing or collecting pledge forms this year, but there are several ways to make your pledge donation. Each method allows you to identify how much and to which charities you wish to donate.

TWU SECC activities kick off at noon, Thursday, Oct. 1, with the UnGala. Other events are listed in the left-hand column of the SECC home page. Note rules and registration deadlines.
