BV Gives 2026

Help Us Preserve Their Stories. Help Us Make History Come Alive. Every artifact at the Museum of the American G.I. has a story—a story of an American who served. This year during Brazos Valley Gives, help us preserve those stories, honor our veterans, and educate the next generation. Your gift helps us: Honor veterans by preserving and sharing their stories. Soar to new heights by helping restore and install our historic C-53 Skytrooper for permanent display. Inspire the next generation through school visits, hands-on activities, living history, and educational programs that bring history to life. And here is a secret: you don’t have to live in the Brazos Valley to give! Generosity has no geographical boundaries. Whether you live across town, across Texas, or across the country, you can support the Museum of the American G.I.
