MEMORIAL & TRIBUTE GIFTS

MEMORIAL & TRIBUTE GIFTS PROVIDE A MEANINGFUL WAY TO HONOR SOMEONE SPECIAL WHILE SUPPORTING THE MISSION OF THE TEXAS A&M LETTERMEN'S ASSOCIATION.

Memorial Gifts

Celebrate the life and lasting influence of an Aggie teammate, coach, mentor, professor, or loved one through a memorial gift that honors their legacy. 




Silver Taps

Located on the second floor of the Coach Jackie Sherrill Lettermen’s Club, the Silver Taps Wall stands as a permanent tribute to deceased Aggie letterwinners. When a letterwinner passes away, individuals may honor their legacy through a minimum $2,000 Silver Taps memorial contribution. Upon receipt of the contribution, a commemorative plaque bearing the letterwinner’s name, class year, and sport will be ordered and then added to the Silver Taps Wall*. At the donor's request, the Association will notify a designated family member of the gift.


*All permanent wall recognitions are subject to review and approval by the Board of Directors.



Tribute Gifts

A tribute gift allows you to celebrate someone who has made a lasting impact — a teammate, mentor, coach, professor or friend. Whether recognizing a milestone, achievement, or special occasion, your gift honors their legacy while supporting the mission of the Lettermen’s Association. The tributee will be notified of your celebration by email or mail, if requested.


  • Gift amounts will not be shared with the family or honoree.
  • The Texas A&M Lettermen’s Association is a 501(c)(7) social organization. Contributions/gifts are voluntary and are not tax-deductible as charitable donations for federal income tax purposes.
  • Priority Points are awarded by the 12th Man Foundation to eligible members for all Memorial & Tribute Gifts.
