LAS CRUCES, N.M. – Want to make an impact on all 400-plus student-athletes and the 16 teams at New Mexico State? Aggie fans and alumni now have an opportunity to double their donation with assistance from the NMSU Foundation!
 
Now through end of business day on #GivingTuesday (Nov. 28), all NEW Aggie Athletic Club members will have their donations matched as El Paso Electric and Excellence Funds from various donors have raised the matching amount to $30,000.
 
#GivingTuesday, the Tuesday after Black Friday and Cyber Monday, is a global movement that inspires people around the world to take collaborative action to improve their local communities and contribute in countless ways to the causes they believe in.
 
To date, the amount matched has reached just over $13,000 with $17,000 still available to be matched.
 
"We can't thank the NMSU Foundation and El Paso Electric enough for this great opportunity to make an impact on the lives of our 400-plus student-athletes," Director of Athletics Mario Moccia remarked. "The AAC has made tremendous strides since I've arrived in Las Cruces. We started at $164,000 and are now on track to reaching our goal of $500,000 at the end of this year. These monies will directly impact on our student-athletes and their respective sports with room and board, books, nutrition and educational expenses. I would ask all Aggie fans and alumni who are not a member of the AAC to make a gift of any amount to assist our student-athletes and see their money doubled for a very worthy cause."
