The Texas A&M Department of Athletics and the 12th Man Foundation have teamed to grant complimentary tickets to first two 2017 home games for anyone affected by Hurricane Harvey. Those eligible include those victimized, first-responders, volunteers and others who have offered aid.
“Texas A&M University has always stood ready to help when called upon, and the events in Texas and the Gulf Coast present another opportunity for us to lend a hand,” Texas A&M Director of Athletics Scott Woodward said in the release. “We want to provide a brief reprieve to all of those affected by this tragedy, as well as extend an expression of gratitude to all of the first-responders and volunteers that are working so hard to help the region return to normalcy.”
The two games include: Nicholls State on Sept. 9 at 6 p.m. and Louisiana-Lafayette on Sept. 16 at 11 a.m.
