"Support our network. Support our mission. Support Texas Blazers"
Our Board of Directors has been hard at work partnering with the undergrad organization to host city-wide happy hours, organize events to welcome the most recent class of New Guys, support current Texas Blazers through our alumni mentorship program, serve the Austin community and Eastside Memorial High School, raise money for The Texas Blazers Endowed Scholarship for underprivileged students in East Austin, and plan various alumni events you will see throughout the year.
These events would not be possible without support from our alumni. While every alumnus to graduate from Texas Blazers is automatically in our alumni network, we also have a core group of “Sponsor Members” who have contributed financially to support our organization. If you are not a Sponsor Member yet, we strongly encourage you to sign up! Our biggest hurdle as a new organization is to gain traction with our alumni and build a strong financial base to support our mission. The membership levels are minimal ($500 for Torch Light Supporters, $50 for Burnt Orange Supporters and include a ticket to both alumni weekends, among other privileges. More importantly, these contributions help support our events, current Texas Blazers, and our efforts to impact the Austin community.
Please take a moment and think through the benefits of supporting the Alumni Network. Your contribution will go a long way to helping our organization grow and to ensuring we provide the current Texas Blazers membership with the support it needs.
Here is the link to the membership levels page on our website for more details.
