Meet Our Promise’s Honorary Chair, Secretary Brian Kelly!
Our Promise (formerly CSECC) welcomes California State Transportation Agency Secretary Brian Kelly to our team! Below is some information about why Our Promise is important to Secretary Kelly.
Q: Why do you feel Our Promise (formerly CSECC) is
important for state employees?
A: Our Promise (formerly CSECC) gives every state employee an
opportunity to support a charity of their choice through a tax
deductible donation. With over 200,000 state employees working a
wide range of jobs, it may be difficult for every state employee
to volunteer at their favorite charity. So Our Promise (formerly
CSECC) becomes an important tool for capturing those state
employees that want to support a charity but may not have the
extra time to do so.
Heifer International Offers a Hand-up
Laurie Heller considers herself a professional “grant maker” – having worked for a variety of public sector agency grant programs.Currently, she works for the California Natural Resources Agency administering grants to improve the environment and help communities prepare for the effects of climate change. A natural extension of her work is an interest in micro-financing.While researching micro-grants as an international development tool, she learned about Heifer International (Heifer) and their innovative approach to sustainable development, which includes taking care of the earth.
Charity Is A Large Part Of My Life
Charity is a large part of my life. My family and I have always believed in giving to the less fortunate, helping those in need and caring for every individual with respect, love and dignity. We believe that spending time helping local charities throughout one’s life helps shape everyone involved.The people being helped receive emotional, monetary, and even spiritual support through the hard times, and the helper receives life lessons on how to be a kind, compassionate and understanding person. It helps both parties grow as individuals and brings people together while assi

Our Promise (formerly CSECC) Theme Song
“My name is Michael Summers. As a Campaign Liaison for Our Promise (formerly CSECC), I was inspired to wrote a song entitled, “Give From the Heart.” I have been involved with non-profits for over 20 years and thus I know firsthand the important role these organizations play to the vitality of our communities and the critical support Our Promise provides to their continued existence and delivery of critical services. I hope that you are inspirited by the song and find it in your heart to give of your time, talent, and treasures! Thank you for listening.”

Living With Cancer
And How Nonprofits Help With The Process
My name is Cheryle McLaughlin and I am a survivor of Cancer. I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer in January 2008. I was 36 years old and I thought I had the world at my finger tips. My husband and I were planning on starting a family when I received a phone call from my doctor. She asked me to come in and have my husband drive me. When we got to her office she informed me that we would not be able to have natural children, but most importantly, that I would have to have surgery to take the cancer out right away.
