CECO Celebrates 60 with Breakfast, Baseball & More

/

Employees like you have been paying it forward for 60 years through the San Diego County Employees’ Charitable Organization. Through County and Superior Court employee donations, CECO has distributed more than $6.7 million throughout the San Diego region to local non-profit organizations and employees in crisis since its founding in 1956. And now, it’s time to celebrate the next 60 years of caring for our community with festivities and fundraisers.

CECO is kicking off its diamond anniversary year doing what it does best—giving. A total of $177,000 will be awarded in 69 grants to numerous local non-profits at the 2016 CECO Breakfast March 22 at the County Operations Center’s Hearing Room. Grant recipients will be on hand to receive their awards, joined by special guests Supervisor Greg Cox and Chief Administrative Officer Helen Robbins-Meyer. You’re also invited. County employees can purchase tickets to the breakfast for just $6.

The annual breakfast is just the start of an exciting year. CECO will take you out to the ballgame April 16 for a gem of a day: a Padres game against the Diamondbacks. A portion of every ticket sold through this CECO fundraiser will go directly back to the non-profit. Tickets are $30 for field pavilion level seats, $45 for field box level seats, or $75 for a VIP Landing experience package with ticket and buffet including food, drink and beer. To learn more about the charity event and purchase tickets, visit CECO’s website.

The fun does not stop there. Keep your eyes and ears open for future CECO celebration announcements including a summertime barbecue with entertainment and a fall social event.
