<div dir="ltr"><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Dear Colleagues:</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">The 2020 SUNY Plattsburgh SEFA Campaign officially
kicked-off on Thursday, October 1, 2020 and will conclude on Friday, December
11, 2020. Yesterday marked the second full week of this initiative. We have already
raised an impressive total donation amount of $13,830 (34.6% of our final,
$40,000 goal).</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">In realizing this year’s campaign looks very different from
years past, it is even more imperative that we do our part to help those in
need. The coronavirus pandemic has hit hard, and our 82,000, four-county area
is met with an even greater need for help. Our statistics show that one in two
individuals has, or will have, the need to utilize charitable services; it’s
interesting to note that two-thirds of the money we raise via this campaign
remains local! Although some of you may not physically be on-campus, you may
still  donate via the online pledging
option. This option can be accessed by going to the SEFA website: <a href="http://sefanys.org">sefanys.org</a>.
Let Carol or I know if you need any assistance with this site.</p>
