What is 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. The campaign runs annually from September 1 through October 31.

Why Should I Give to SECC?

There are many reasons to give to SECC! Many of these charities help our students, so you'd be supporting the A&M-San Antonio community. It helps you support your favorite cause or charity on a regular basis. It strengthens A&M-San Antonio as a strong community partner. Additionally, it makes you feel great, and it's tax-deductible. You may already be involved with one of these charities or maybe in the future, so SECC is a great option!
