REGISTER NOW: TexAgs Preseason Kickoff 2017

TexAgs Premium Preseason Kickoff title sponsor: 12th Man Foundation

Preseason Kickoff 2017: Exclusively for Premium & Varsity members of TexAgs.com

We are very excited to announce and open registration for the 7th annual TexAgs Preseason Kickoff 2017 presented by the 12th Man Foundation on Saturday, August 5th. Register NOW for what we believe will be the best TexAgs Preseason Kickoff to date. Thanks to your participation and generosity, last year we doubled what we gave to charity, and this year we are setting the bar even higher.

Our Kickoff will once again take place in the Bethancourt Family Grand Ballroom on the second floor of the MSC on the Texas A&M campus. This will be another year of great food, good fellowship with the TexAgs Premium and Varsity communities and Aggie sports talk with former A&M athletes, current Aggie coaches and special guests. You don’t want to miss it!

Turn it Gold

This year’s Kickoff will benefit Turn it Gold, which is a story we all know and love. Turn it Gold is inspired by Charlie Dina and his battle with stage 4 high-risk neuroblastoma. Charlie’s parents and Texas A&M grads, Mike and Angela Dina, established Turn it Gold to help support children who are battling cancer and their families.

One of the ways they do this is by partnering with athletes and sports teams to raise awareness for pediatric cancer research. This was inspired by Charlie's relationship with Johnny Manziel. Johnny has become very close with this family over the years and would wear the “Charlie’s Angels” wristband in all of his games on Kyle Field. TexAgs is excited to be raising money in support of this great cause. A portion of the proceeds will also contribute to the TexAgs Endowed Scholarship Fund.

Casino Night (Friday)

This year we are spicing things up with a casino night at the TexAgs building on Friday, August 4th – the night before the Preseason Kickoff. We will be hosting a fun-filled night with blackjack, poker, roulette, food and an open bar. 

The cost is $50 per person and we'll only be selling 50 tickets. Guests will receive the same amount of chips when they arrive with the option of purchasing additional chips. There will be a prize at the end of the night for the overall winner, and the rest of the proceeds will benefit Turn It Gold. Doors open at 7:30 p.m., and the party will go on until 10:30 p.m.

**Tickets to Casino Night on Friday night are separate from tickets to the Preseason Kickoff event on Saturday; you must be on the list for the Preseason Kickoff in order to purchase a ticket to casino night.**

Preseason Kickoff Event Details

On Saturday, we'll meet at the Bethancourt Ballroom in the MSC for a program that you don’t want to miss. Tickets to the event will include a catered meal, silent auction, live auction, open forum discussions with our A&M celebrity guests and the presentation of our seventh annual "Liucci Awards." Doors open at 11:00 a.m. for cocktails, the silent auction and a hangout. Lunch will be served starting at 11:30. The official program gets underway at 1:00.

Our event is for a great cause and is also an excellent opportunity to get to know the guys and gals that you spend so much time with on the boards every day, as well as a chance to "talk ball" with TexAgs staff and former A&M players and coaches.
