The UTSA SECC campaign is now well into our final week of this extended campaign. As of this morning the University is at 44.5% for our overall UTSA participation. We set a goal of 65% campus participation at the beginning of this campaign and there are still three days left to donate. Giving to a favorite charity through the SECC is an easy, effective and cost-efficient way to give. These contributions help improve the quality of life for people in communities locally, across the country and around the world. One of the great benefits of the SECC is the wide variety of charities and causes represented - there's truly something for everyone. How is Your Department Doing? Attached to this email are two Campaign Summaries, a current one from this morning and another one showing the finally numbers from last year's 2012 Campaign. Take a look to compate what your office or department did last year and let's try to better that. Let's try to reach or surpass that goal TODAY!!! How far does your donation really go? $2 PER MONTH for one year: * provides one day of food and shelter for a homeless person. * covers the cost of planting of 100 tree saplings. * provides meals for a homebound senior citizen for two weeks $5 PER MONTH for one year: * provides 12 students with an interactive CD on college-age depression and suicide. * will provide equipment and supplies for five people to spend a morning cleaning a beach or river bank. * provides teaching materials for 30 at-risk students for one school year. $10 PER MONTH for one year: * enables three elementary school classes to tour a natural area. * provides 233 meals for hungry babies. * provides one mammogram for an uninsured woman.
