Faculty and staff are invited to partake in good food, good fun, and a good cause by attending the State Employees Combined Campaign (SECC) annual breakfast on Tuesday, Nov. 5. The event cost is $6 and will take place in Fountain View Dining Hall from 7 to 9:30 a.m. Pre-event tickets are available through the SpartanCard Center in Moran Commons and will also be available at the event. Chancellor Franklin D. Gilliam, Jr. will open the event with remarks.

Event organizers request that Spartans donate items to be used as prizes during the breakfast raffle.

Faculty and staff in the past have donated handmade items such as jewelry boxes or other crafts, UNCG swag, gift certificates, and jewelry. The items up for bid are diverse – there is something for every interest. The raffle tables are always popular.

The deadline for raffle item donations is Oct. 21. For drop-off locations and times, contact Tammy Downs at adowns@uncg.edu.

Last year, the breakfast raffle and ticket proceeds yielded $2,039 of the $173,396 total raised by UNCG.

Created in 1984 by the state of North Carolina, the SECC is the official workplace giving campaign for state employees. The principal aim of the SECC is to strengthen and sustain North Carolina communities and their citizens. The campaign gives state employees and retirees continuous opportunity to support charitable organizations that are accountable, fiscally sound, and committed to improving the quality of life in our state, nation, and the world.
