Howdy,
My name is Carson Cruse, and I have the privilege of serving as this year’s philanthropy chairman for Aggie Men’s Club. It is my job to lead the way for AMC in supporting Kairos Christian School throughout the year. Kairos is a school in Guatemala that provides education for kids and meets the needs of families. As a group, we raise money for Kairos by participating in songfest and through our main philanthropy event, Maroon on the Green. Each year, AMC goes on a mission trip during spring break to visit Kairos and to build homes for families. Through AMC’s philanthropy, we are united under a single goal and are able to provide opportunities to work hard and develop relationships.
Thanks and Gig’em,
Carson Cruse ‘24

Our Philanthropies
Kairos Christian School
Beginning in 2010, Kairos Christian School has provided a complete Christian education to underprivileged children in Antigua, Guatemala. Kairos believes that by providing faith-based education, experiences, and teachers, it will change the narrative of poverty in Guatemala. Each year, AMC spends a week visiting Kairos and serving the surrounding community through home-building. Additionally, all funds raised during the year go to Kairos. We look forward to continuing to serve Kairos Christian School physically, monetarily, and prayerfully for many years to come. To learn more, please click here.

Jamaica Mission Trip 2014
During Spring Break 2014, 12 men traveled to Kingston, Jamaica and worked alongside Mustard Seed Communities, a ministry devoted to providing care to special needs and destitute children. The men did everything and anything that the team at Mustard Seed needed. This included spending time with children, morning feedings, building sidewalks, constructing a prayer garden, and many other service-oriented activities. Though the trip impacted each man in a different way, everyone walked away with a better understanding of what it looks like to love our Father and love on another. Check out some of the highlights below.
