FROM: THE CHARITABLE CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE

SUBJECT: MSU 2012 EMPLOYEES CHARITABLE CAMPAIGN

The Employees Charitable Campaign is an effort of NJ state employees to raise funds for over 1,300 non-profit organizations that help people in our communities.

Hurricane Sandy caused additional strain to non-profit agencies already challenged by the increase of individuals they serve but with half the resources. In response to the continuing challenges, the Employees Charitable Campaign created a new online donation platform to assist the charities who have also adopted non-traditional methods of fund-raising to fill the financial shortfalls—from pleading for help via local news stations to increased communication to previous donors.  Montclair State Employees have stepped up to the challenge of helping those that were less fortunate. This is another opportunity to help during the upcoming Holidays.  Donating to the MSU Employees Charitable Campaign is an outlet that can help provide services such as emergency shelter, a meal for a family who may have to go without, and the ability to have heat on a cold wintry night.

Please go to www.njsecc.org and take a moment to review the site and see how many organizations are listed.  We think that you will find an agency to which you would be interested in making a contribution. It’s a simple process: Choose one or more organizations, go to https://www.giveattheoffice.org/_njsecc/ to pledge online, call x4498 for a pledge card or send cash or check written to NJECC to the Office of Employee Relations in College Hall 316B.  Our online platform will enable you to make your contribution through a payroll deduction for whatever amount you select.  You can also visit CO-316B and fill out the Pledge Card form there or contact a Committee member and we’ll give you any assistance you may need filling out the card.

It is our hope that offering the online platform will increase awareness as well as donations and we are finalizing the addition of a new fund solely for Hurricane Sandy relief in the near future. Contributions are tax deductible.

We hope that you will be able to make a contribution this year. Every contribution, no matter the amount, helps.  You can make a difference.
