Join us for one of the biggest annual gatherings of local-area Aggies; this Dallas A&M Club tradition brings together Aggies and friends of Texas A&M for a fun day of camaraderie - while tremendously supporting the DAMC's scholarship fund. It's a great way to catch up with old friends, meet fellow Dallas Aggies, and soak up the May sunshine. This fun, hours-long event includes all-you-can-eat Cajun crawfish (until we run out) and five (5) drink tickets for 16 oz. Bud Light beer - all for one price - as well as raffle for awesome prizes, games, miscellaneous vendors, and live music by Bourbon Diesel!
Sponsorship opportunities are also still available; click HERE for more information and/or to purchase tickets.
Membership-related gifts are the foundation of our annual fundraising efforts and allow the Dallas A&M Club to award considerable scholarships each year to multiple deserving Dallas-area high school seniors that will be attending Texas A&M, to also occasionally contribute to important endeavors at Texas A&M, and to maintain club-related programs in Dallas County for former students of Texas A&M.
