Each year, California state employees are given th Each year, California state employees are given the opportunity to support nonprofit causes they’re passionate about through @unitedwayccr’s Our Promise campaign — either through payroll giving or one-time donations.
 
CalPERS did its part to embrace the campaign this past week during our lunch hour, where team members celebrated #OurPromiseCA with festive fall costumes, treats, and charity.
 
Different nonprofits here in the Sacramento area were invited to table at the event — including @crhkids, @thefccp, @sackids, and others — while CalPERS’ very own participated in fun contests and silent auctions, all for a good cause.
 
Last year, our team donated $81,000+ to local nonprofits, and we’re again #UnitedInGiving for 2025!
 
If you’d like to learn more about the Our Promise: California State Employees Giving At Work initiative and how to donate, visit their website at the link in our bio.
