MAJOR GIFTS GROUP |
The Texas A&M athletics program has brought honor and distinction to our University for many years. Paramount to the growth of our program during the past fifty years has been the generosity of 12th Man Foundation donors. While we are proud of our history, we still have not reached our full potential.
“If you look at the Big 12, we still don’t spend as much as many of the teams we compete against in all sports. I think that Aggies are beginning to step up to the plate and understand that you can’t have a conference or nationally competitive athletic program without significant resources,” President Dr. Robert Gates said.
There are many ways for you to support the Aggie athletics through the 12th Man Foundation's major giving programs. Gifts to help fund capital projects, endow an athletic scholarship, and/or planned gifts serve as difference makers for Aggie athletics. |
