Where Are We At?
You all blew me away in Week 3 as you crested the $100k mark! As of this morning, our Week 3 total landed at $114,431.52 from 713 contributors, putting us at 14.58% of our statewide goal! What incredible generosity from the state employees who have given so far. Thank you for your strong support in facilitating the campaign for your department/division. Continue encouraging giving at any level from every employee as we press on toward our statewide goal of $785,000.00!
Don’t go into cruise control just yet because the race isn’t over. Drive record participation as you host fundraisers and talk to individual coworkers about the State Combined Campaign!

Share an SCC Story!
As you continue campaigning in your department, it is always a tremendous resource to specifically communicate how donations to the State Combined Campaign are enacting transformation and hope in the lives of individuals are who receive services from our partnering charities. Here’s a success story from That’s My Child, located in Montgomery. TMC has an empowering mission to mentor youth through the arts, education, and work-force development in an effort to end hopelessness and generational poverty within our community.
This story from Ji’vone Jay Freeman is a prime example of TMC’s mission in action. Ji’vone graduated with an MD from Howard University and is now completing a residency program at Duke University. The mentorship that TMC was able to offer Ji’vone would not have been possible if it wasn’t for community-minded donors like you!

Share the WHY of the State Combined Campaign as we collectively “Give for the Gold” in 2024!
