"Connecticut state employees and retirees have a long history of charitable giving - contributing millions to provide shelter for the homeless, environmental protections, important medical research and care for children and seniors," Lembo said. "Last year alone, the CSEC raised $1.39 million from state employee and retiree donations. As the 2015 campaign chair, I am determined to make this a record year - propelled by our new online donation portal that gives employees and retirees an easy option to contribute."
Today's CSEC kick-off event at the capitol will include free food samples, live performances, a display of Harley Davidson Motorcycles - and representatives from several participating CSEC charities available to answer questions about the great programs and services that they provide in the community, Lembo said.
