Crusade part of 2013 KECC

About 200 Kentucky State employees joined in the “beach theme” fun at the Frankfort Convention Center on July 23 for the kickoff of the 2013 Kentucky Employees Charitable Campaign. Tim Longmeyer, secretary of the Kentucky Personnel Cabinet, the chair for this year’s campaign, addressed the crowd and rallied workers to make a difference.

The WHAS Crusade for Children is one of seven charities for 2013. Employees participate in “fun” raising as well as fundraising activities while contributing through payroll deduction. The KECC runs from July through October. The 2013 theme is “Together We Care.”

Last year’s efforts raised $1,238,648 for the charities. Employees contributed $129,387 to the WHAS Crusade for Children in 2013.
