Aggie Moms
make finals week survivable with
Care Packages
Aggie Moms know
how lonely finals can make a
student feel so each semester
Aggie Mom clubs hand out
Care Package to Aggie
students.
Last fall,
clubs from clubs from across the
state distributed to well over
2500 students and our club gave
out 300. Our spring package is
a handy A & M string backpack
filled with a variety of snacks,
a gift card, and a scantron. Any
parent with an Aggie is invited
to purchase one. We notify your
student that a Care Package is
waiting for them and we
distribute to Galveston and
College Station students!!
Include your Aggie student in
this spring tradition by
ordering their Care Package
today for $20 and we’ll give
them a hug from you for luck!

support on campus, student run
organizations

support organizations such as
Car Pool, a safe, no questions
asked, ride home program,
initiated by a student in 1997.
To date this program has
provided over 200,000 rides home
to students and non-students.
Colleges across the country are
duplicating this innovative,
lifesaving program. There are
over 800 student organizations
on campus. Our donations are
member directed and last year we
donated $13,000 to 83 different
organizations.
Aggie Moms have
two awesome parties a year
Although you can
donate via our web site any day
of the year, we also hold two
fundraising parties. In the
fall, we host a delightful China
Luncheon at which no two tables
are ever the same and the goal
is to have the tallest
centerpiece. In the spring, we
have a good, old fashion barn
dance and bar-b-q with
entertainment provided by an up
and coming recording artist who
is also, of course, an Aggie.
