TENDERS WITH TAUS

$13,000

October 20th, 2024

We are excited to announce that our Third Annual Tenders with Taus event raised $13,000 in support of Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 4692. This achievement would not have been possible without the strong dedication and hard work of our actives and new members, whose combined efforts were key to the success of this event. Impressively, the amount we raised is six times the amount we raised at the first edition of the event and three times more than last year's total.

This year, we hosted the event at Carney's, moving from our previous venue at the Spot. The new location provided a more open and relaxed atmosphere, which made the event even more enjoyable for everyone. Of course, being right across the street from our new compound was a benefit as well.

The VFW representative spoke highly of our fraternity, emphasizing that we are setting a new standard for young men and redefining expectations in terms of community service and giving back.

We want to congratulate the Aggie Gentlemen of Integrity for winning the competition, and thank President Jon Cain for his leadership in organizing this event.

PHILANTHROPY

$2,750

September 14th, 2024

We are proud to announce that the Fall 2024 semester marks the return of Paws & Taus. Most current members have likely not experienced a Paws & Taus event before, so being able to bring it back, especially at a fresh property, was nothing short of a privilege.

The event raised $2,750 in support of the Longway Home Adoptables animal shelter in Bryan. With a focus on adoptions and fostering, our efforts helped find temporary homes for three dogs, bringing them closer to long-term adoption.

We set up booths for a bake sale run by shelter volunteers, and an area for concessions and drink sales that raised additional dollars toward the philanthropy.

We partnered with TAMU Paws for this event, and thoroughly enjoyed working with them. The shelter was thrilled with the outcome of our philanthropy and looks forward to partnering again in the future.

A special thank you to Vice President Dhruv Ruttala for organizing this event, and to Longway Home Adoptables for giving us this wonderful opportunity.
