Every Longhorn Has a Tower Memory.
Help Keep It Shining Bright.

We gathered beneath it for milestone photos, class ring celebrations, graduations, and big wins. We watched it glow orange. We stood in its shadow as students—and left campus forever changed. For generations, the Tower has been the heart of the Forty Acres and a symbol of everything it means to be a Longhorn: excellence, tradition, and a community that stands together.

But time has taken its toll. To ensure the Tower continues to shine for future Longhorns, it’s time to invest in its renewal. And as the keeper of the University’s most cherished traditions, the Texas Exes is here to rally alumni worldwide to help revitalize our beloved Tower and its legacy.

That’s where Longhorn Nation comes in.

This 40 Hours for the Forty Acres, the Texas Exes is rallying alumni worldwide to help revitalize our beloved Tower and its legacy.

During 40 Hours for the Forty Acres, we're asking Texas Exes to make a gift of any size to the Texas Exes Tower Fund in support of the Tower's renewal. Every gift, no matter the size, makes a big difference. Participation is what matters most.

When Longhorns show up together, we accomplish extraordinary things—and your support will help restore the Tower, so it remains a beacon of pride, celebration, and connection for generations to come.

Please mark your calendar for April 29-30. Make your gift—and encourage others to join you in keeping the Tower shining bright.
