Since the Fall of 2003, brothers of our chapter have been hosting patients from the Texas Medical Center Cancer Centers at Texas A&M Sporting events in a program called Share the Spirit.
In the first year that program launched, our chapter hosted 12 patients from MD Anderson Cancer Center at a Texas A&M football game. The program included a catered tailgate party before the game, a private yell practice from the Texas A&M Yell Leaders, primetime seats at the game, and a private autograph session with the athletes following the game. When the brothers saw the effect that they had on the patients and their families, they knew they were on to something great.
Over the years, the efforts of our chapter have been matched by a handful of other organizations to make a difference in the community. The unwavering support of The 12th Man Foundation, Rob Stewart of the Texas A&M Marketing Department, the Fighting Texas Aggie Yell Leaders, Head football Coach Mike Sherman and his staff, and Head Baseball coach Rob Childress, is a true testament The Aggie Spirit.
Through the hard work of members of our chapter, and the unwavering support of Texas A&M athletic community, Share the Spirit has grown to include 2 hostpitals, two sporting events a year, and over 80 patients and their families every year!
