    Raleigh, NC — Governor McCrory hosted a recognition reception for organizers, volunteers, and sponsors of the North Carolina State Employees Combined Campaign (SECC) today.

    "The SECC is more than a campaign. It's about state employees reaching beyond their workplaces to connect with their communities and causes they care about," said Governor McCrory. "Together, we make a significant difference in so many lives. Most importantly, it provides an incredibly easy and convenient way for us to plan gifts to charities we are personally passionate about."

    The event celebrated the leadership of those involved in last year's fundraising success. In 2014, more than 18,000 state employees donated nearly $3.8 million to the SECC. The donations make a positive impact on the lives of individuals and families across the state.

    The governor appointed Neal Alexander, director of the Office of State Human Resources, to serve as the state chair of the SECC this year. Secretary Donald van der Vaart from the Department of Environment and Natural Resources will serve as the vice-chair.

    "Thanks to the tireless efforts of volunteers and the generous spirit of state employees, we're close to reaching a milestone this year," said Director Alexander. "Since 1985, the SECC has raised more than $99 million to support charities serving North Carolinians. In 2015, we fully expect to surpass $100 million in an ongoing effort to improve and strengthen our communities."

    As the only charitable campaign permitted in the state workplace, the SECC provides state employees the opportunity to plan and pay for contributions to over 1,000 charities in North Carolina through their payroll deductions. To be eligible for contributions from the 2015 Campaign, charities have to be vetted and certified. Donations are tax-deductible. To learn more about the SECC, visit www.ncsecc.org.
