Maroon & Gold Fund
I am proud to be a part of the Bobcat Family because of the strong sense of community and the lifelong connections formed at Texas State. The university has provided me with invaluable opportunities for personal and professional growth. I am honored to be a part of such a vibrant and supportive network of students, alumni, and faculty. Being a Bobcat means being a part of something greater than myself, and I am grateful for the experiences that have shaped who I am today.

I was raised to share my gifts, and even though my gift may not be as sizable as others, it is given with love and for the betterment of others.
