FUNDING
CECO is employee-managed and volunteered-based and distributes 100% of funds raised back to the community. CECO is funded by the generosity of County employees and retirees who lend a hand via biweekly payroll contributions, one-time donations, and/or volunteering in CECO events.  See Lend a Hand for more information.
