High Five for CECO Making Giving Easy
/
UPDATE: People can still buy tickets for the Mini Photo Session raffle. It was extended to noon Oct. 31, with a drawing at 4 p.m. that day.
Would you believe me if I said that if you donate $3 a paycheck, you can support youth mentor programs with the purchase of two laptops; and help unsheltered individuals with access to products and clothing; and buy books for students who live in a low-income community; and help fund a community garden that distributes food into the community; and support 60 other community programs!
The San Diego County Employees’ Charitable Organization (CECO) makes giving easy by stretching your charitable donations across the region and in support of your fellow County colleagues who may be going through a crisis. To take part of the County's giving legacy, CECO is offering up five charitable and fun options for how you can give during its fall campaign fundraiser. Your contributions will be pooled together with other employee donations to be part of a big, positive outcome.
This fall, "High Five for CECO" by supporting the organization, and, in turn, your community with five main ways:
1. Help spread the word about CECO – follow on social media Facebook and Instagram
2. Participate in raffles and See’s Candies fundraiser
3. Help raise $5k
4. Each department brings in 5 new CECO members/contributors
5. Donate
“The money raised goes back out to support our community grants program and help employees with a financial crisis,” said Nadia Moshirian Binderup, CECO president.
Please see flyers below and scan the QR code for more details on the raffle and the See’s Candies fundraiser. Please note the mini photo session raffle entry deadline is Friday the Thirteenth of October at noon with winners drawn at 4 p.m.
Also, the See’s Candies fundraiser closes on Nov. 30. The candy will start shipping on Nov. 10 for those orders that are in.
Over the past 60 years CECO has distributed more than $7 million to local nonprofit organizations and employees in crisis. The fund depends on the generosity of County employee and retiree donations to give back to the community.
CECO stands apart from other charitable organizations because it is run by County employees and 100% of money donated benefits the people and organizations in our area.
