There’s still time…
Build on our tradition of giving by designating a portion of your SECC gift to the Texas A&M-Foundation
This year’s State Employees Charitable Campaign will wrap up Oct. 31, so be sure to finalize your donation.
This year, you can make your SECC gift even more significant: By designating a portion of your SECC gift to the Texas A&M University-Kingsville Foundation, code 270236, you will be counted among the donors to the university’s first-ever capital campaign, “Building on Our Traditions.”
Your gift to the Texas A&M-Kingsville Foundation will go to the Faculty and Staff Scholarship Fund to support deserving students.
If you’ve already made your gift, thank you. If you haven’t submitted your form yet, consider stretching your SECC gift a bit more this year. Add as little as $5 – or more – for the Texas A&M-Kingsville Foundation.
