Without their support, our grieving would have been more difficult than it was. I try to donate to agencies in the Connecticut State Employees Campaign that assist support groups for parents who have suffered the death of a child. The campaign is the annual opportunity to contribute to non-profit charities at work. The campaign will formally close on Oct. 30 with Fall Fest '97, including a bake sale, but employees can continue to send in their pledges through November. Contributions to the campaign are tax-deductible and completely voluntary.
Contributors can designate their gift to one or more charitable agencies of their choice.
