May I post notices and flyers about fund raising events for community charities and other causes to Announce?
The State Employees Combined Campaign (SECC) is the only officially authorized event for canvassing and promoting voluntary donations from ECU employees to external organizations. This campaign is conducted annually in the fall. However, Announce can be used from time to time to draw attention to officially sanctioned events and activities provided they originate from and/or significantly benefit an ECU unit, activity, or official organization. The rule of thumb is that 50% or more of the proceeds of any event publicized should go toward the ECU-related organization/club/activity or the service activity/cause should be a primary outreach for an ECU unit/club/activity. In addition, the guideline for only a single posting also applies. Users should refrain from posting or reposting fund raising and charity event notices from external sources (churches, businesses, etc.) that are not directly related to ECU.

Who may use Announce?
Announce is for ECU faculty and staff through their ECU e-mail account publicizing ECU-related information. It is not used to solicit charitable contributions for any event unless the event is sponsored by ECU or one of its units or a formally recognized ECU student organization.
