Kyle Field Day
Kyle Field Day is the largest freshmen-led service event held at Texas A&M. Putting on an event of this scale requires a dedicated and cohesive group of individuals to facilitate the year long holistic planning process for not only our headline event, but also the Service FLO-Down and Share Your Service booths. This planning process includes creating a marketing campaign, seeking donations and sponsors, successfully maintaining a budget, communicating with nonprofits and other organizations, and conducting day-of operations during the events. Members of the KFD team contribute to all of these undertakings and continue to develop their own valuable professional and interpersonal skills along the way. We strive to find creative ways to spark a lasting passion for service, and all of our events reflect this desire.
KFD's Purpose Statement
Kyle Field Day’s mission is to empower the development and leadership of freshmen, cultivating a mindset of selfless service. Events such as Share Your Service booths, The Service FLO Down, and Kyle Field Day inspire the community to lead with a servant’s heart not only at our events, but also in day-to-day life.
Day Of
The Day-Of sub-subcommittee is responsible to make sure all “day of” logistics for our events are in order so that our events run as smoothly as possible. In the Kyle Field Day Subcommittee the two annual events are Kyle Field Day and Service FLODown. As Day-Of, we have the responsibilities of recruiting FLOs for and managing the Service FLOdown, and we are also in charge of all the logistics at KFD, from bringing in entertainment, such as live music and the Aggie Wranglers, all the way to decorations as well as much more!
Booths & Anchors
The Booths and Anchor’s sub-subcommittee is responsible for contacting organizations to invite them to host a booth or anchor project at Kyle Field Day. Essentially a “booth” is a small service project that represents that organization and is something that every member of the community can participate in and give back to Bryan/College Station! Freshmen will begin contacting organizations in the fall in order to help them choose what type of service project they want to host, and then will continue correspondence to offer guidance and information up until the day of the event itself. At Kyle Field Day all of our work comes to fruition as attendees participate in these wonderful projects that showcase the purpose and mission of each organization, as well as promoting the Selfless Service pillar of Texas A&M.
Marketing
The Marketing sub-subcommittee is responsible for reaching out to the public through different avenues to inform them about Kyle Field Day! An important role as a sub-sub is to ensure the public appearance of Kyle Field Day and Service FLODown are presented in a fun, positive and engaging way. Freshmen will be creating designs (for t-shirts, posters, stickers, and merch, social media, and more!), using social media, and making hype videos for our events. The freshmen will focus on enhancing their professional and creative skills to get the community engaged.
Share Your Service
The Share Your Service sub-subcommittee has the responsibility of spreading the value of selfless service through our Share Your Service Campaign. We work to spread awareness of this throughout campus with Share Your Service booths that occur throughout the year and our Service FIODown event that both provide service projects for students to participate in leading up to Kyle Field Day! This gives freshmen the opportunity to generate creative project ideas, obtain necessary supplies, and deliver finalized projects to local and on campus organizations with whom we have coordinated directly with.
Promotions
Promotions is in charge of facilitating bannering/elevator pitches to make sure KDF is properly marketed. This will expand the reach of Kyle Field Day while giving freshman an opportunity of increase marketing skills. In promotions we will head the acquisition of monetary donations though business rounds, phone calls, emails. Promotions will also organize the yard sign schedule to further the marketing of KFD.
