About SECC
The Texas State Employee Charitable Campaign (SECC) was created through legislation in 1993 to raise funds for charitable organizations throughout the state, the nation, and the world. Since then, Texas state employees have contributed $176 million. The campaign runs annually from September 1 through October 31.
