A Letter from This Year’s Campaign Chair
Provost Eric W. Kaler
Dear Colleague,
In next week’s campus mail, you should receive materials about our annual Stony Brook Cares/SEFA Campaign. Charitable giving is a personal decision. This is why the SB Cares/SEFA campaign is
an excellent opportunity for you to exercise your choice.
SEFA was established so that you have the potential to choose the recipient of your donation and the process is easy and effective. This annual fundraising effort supports a network of local, national, and international community services all year long. With your support, the SEFA-affiliated agencies feed the hungry, shelter the homeless, nurture the sick, care for the elderly, counsel troubled youth, protect the environment, and make an overall difference in so many lives.
With more than 500 charitable organizations to choose from, there’s sure to be a good fit for your contribution. Additionally, by making your contribution through SEFA, managed locally by the United Way of Long Island, you can be assured that your donation is put to work to address the needs you choose. Annually, 90 percent of contributions go directly to the agency/agencies of the donor’s choice.
