October
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1 – SATURDAY, OCTOBER 31
The University of Texas Hearts of Texas Charitable Giving Campaign
The Hearts of Texas annual fundraising drive, part of the State Employee Charitable Campaign, runs October 1 through October 31. Since 1996, the Hearts of Texas Campaign has enabled members of the university community to come together to help those most in need, contributing more than $5 million. The campaign helps charities decrease their fundraising costs so they can focus on serving more people. It offers contributors a wide variety of options-from organizations working right here in Austin to those whose reach extends around the world-and it makes giving and record-keeping easy. There are more than 550 charities to choose from, all of which have been screened for efficiency and effectiveness, so you can be confident that your generous contributions will make a difference to those in need. For more information, please contact your Departmental Representatives or visit the website at http://www.utexas.edu/events/secc/.
