Friends,
The New Year is always a special time full of reflection and anticipation. As we step into a new year, we do so with renewed hope, fresh energy, and a shared belief in what’s possible when we work together. The turning of the calendar is more than a milestone—it’s a reminder that every new beginning brings opportunity, and every collective effort can create meaningful change. Your commitment and generosity set the tone for the year ahead, inspiring momentum that will carry our mission forward.
Thank you for ending 2025 with purpose and optimism, and for continuing to be the driving force behind the impact we are making together!
The 2025 campaign will be unofficially extended to mid-January, which will allow as many employees as possible to participate in this great cause! Please continue to fundraise and promote the State Combined Campaign within your department through mid-January as we optimize our reach.
Nonetheless, please ensure payroll deduction pledge forms are turned in as quickly as possible so that my team can quickly return them to departmental payroll personnel.
Where Are We At?
As of Week 17, $738,457.86 has been received from 6,309 contributors. We are so very close to crossing over the statewide goal! Send out final reminders and enthusiastically encourage each state employee to contribute as we fuel impact through giving.
Even if you have already submitted your final report, continue to give every employee an opportunity to give over the next few weeks as we strive to meet and exceed the statewide goal!
