On Nov. 8, Aggies and friends of Texas A&M anywhere in the world can take part in Pass It Back Day, The Association of Former Students’ 2022 day of giving to support the Aggie Network, aiming to reach a goal of 5,000 donors.

What happens Nov. 8?
Everyone can participate in Pass It Back Day by making a gift of any size at tx.ag/PIBD; inviting friends and family to take part; spreading the word on social media; sponsoring a student’s Century Club membership (tx.ag/Sponsor) and more.

All day, live updates will appear on tx.ag/PassItBackDay as gifts come in from around the world and appear on the map. The @AggieNetwork social media channels will feature updates as well, and events such as:

  • Challenges: From the $12 Power Hour to the Sponsor a Student Challenge and more, gifts made on Pass It Back Day can help unlock thousands of dollars in matching funds.
  • Campus event: Aggie students will be in Rudder Plaza from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. helping share Pass It Back Day information – Reveille X will even make an appearance.

What does Pass It Back Day support?
Each year, these gifts help The Association of Former Students provide support to Texas A&M and its current and former students:

  • Hundreds of students receive Association scholarships and student assistance funds.
  • Big Event, Muster, Fish Camp, the Corps of Cadets and many more A&M organizations and traditions receive Association support. So do academic programs that help set students up for success.
  • The Association connects former students worldwide through programs such as A&M Clubs, Class Reunions, local Musters, the “Find An Aggie” former student directory and more.
