Connecting With Young Alumni Donors: James ‘Jimmy’ Bacon ’16

Jimmy Bacon always knew he was going to be an Aggie. In 2012, the veteran of Operation Desert Storm was able to fulfill his lifelong dream. “Texas A&M’s commitment to their military program and to student veterans returning to college is what ensured I continued and graduated from A&M after serving in the United States Navy.”

Jimmy graduated in 2016 with a degree in maritime studies. His desire to further the university’s commitment to helping students is what inspired him to give back. He became a Century Club donor with the goal of providing current and future students with the “opportunity to access scholarships and financial aid and provide a clearer path to their goal of graduating from Texas A&M.”

He has seen his gifts make a difference for other Aggies. “Through the years, I have witnessed numerous scholarships given to hardworking students who put forth the effort in earning a competitive and sought-after award. When you see what this means not only to the students but also their families, this is something you want to remain part of for years to come.”
