CURRENT EVENT
We are excited to announce our marquee event for Spring 2021 will be "Running With Purpose"! Things will be a little different due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but we hope to make just as much of an impact with this event!

Running With Purpose Fundraiser
With Purpose: College Station is the Texas A&M student-led chapter of With Purpose. We are an organization of about 50 students who are inspired to make a difference. Our vision is to develop and empower individuals to make a difference in the lives of those affected by childhood cancer. We do this by executing marquee fundraising events each semester, so this Fall we are hosting a dodgeball tournament. Our goal is to raise the most money WPCS has ever raised from a marquee event, but we need your help!
By donating to this fundraiser, you are helping fund research initiatives that would otherwise only receive a portion of the 4% that the government allocates in the research budget to childhood cancer.
