Tarleton Round Up is a student-led, student-initiated project held in cooperation with the city of Stephenville.
“We are honored to be able to continue to serve the Stephenville community this year through this student-led service project. We have expanded job site applicants to include not only the elderly but anyone who needs service on April 1,” said Hunter deMasi student Round Up director. “We are happy to serve in any way that we can.”
Last year nearly 1,600 students, staff and faculty volunteers rallied to complete 155 job sites in the community. This year the Tarleton Round Up Coordinating Committee hopes to have 2,500 volunteers complete 250 job sites. Volunteer applications will be accepted until the day of the event.
To make such a large service project a success, organizers are looking for assistance from individuals and businesses including monetary donations, rakes, shovels, trash bags, and other basic supplies.
Volunteers and others interested in Round Up can follow the effort on social media and share stories and photos using #TarletonRoundUp.
Due to its popularity in past years, Round Up will offer recycling and document shredding services to the community on the visitor’s side (Harbin Drive) parking lot of Memorial Stadium.
