Letter from the Our Promise Chair
Marcie Frost
Dear Golden State Employees:
For more than 60 years, you and your fellow employees have been
giving back to those in need through Our Promise. In that time,
you have raised hundreds of millions of dollars for organizations
doing exemplary work to make California the best place to live,
work and play.
I’m calling on you – my fellow state employees – to join together
to help fulfill our important promise: We will care for
California. Every Day. All Year.

more than ever as people struggle through these troubled times. I
am proud to say that state employees are known for their
unfailing support of worthy causes; their generosity to this

fortunate to have Our Promise as a vehicle by which we can
contribute to the well-being of those less fortunate and make our
communities better places to live for all.”
