The Difference

Together we make the difference

We created a Team and everyone worked hard to make it come together,” Captain Bruce McCrary said of his Team from Alexander Correctional Institution as they went over their 2009 State Employees Combined Campaign goal. The Alexander Correctional Institution SECC Team created an environment where every gift mattered- the gift of time, the gift of money, and the gift of Teamwork resulting in over $19,000 in pledges. Alexander Correctional Institutional exceeded its goal of $18, 000 dollars, by over a $1,000 dollars. Due to the fact that local businesses came together to support their efforts by donating gift certificates, drinks, and food to help raise awareness about the campaign. They also staged their first annual golf tournament. Staff members and the community came to the golf tournament to support not only the local charities, but also each other. Alexander Correctional has embodied what the 2009 State Employees Combined Campaign has been all about- a spirit that has reached across the state, inspiring people that every dollar counts, that every volunteer hour matters, and that together we make the difference.
