Thank you for visiting!
Our crowdfunding campaign has ended, but you can still support us by clicking here.
Hello there!
Our campaign has come to a close and we are so amazed by all of your support. All together, we raised $11,685 which is 116% of our goal! We also broke the all-time donor record for a Make A STATEment campaign at 210 donors!
Since we broke the record by just one donor, your donation truly played a major part in making this happen. We couldn't have done this without you and for that we are so very thankful!

Have a great weekend and thank you again for making this possible!

Good Afternoon!
Thanks to you and all of our 136 amazing donors, we passed our goal and raised $10,456. That is 104% of our goal - we couldn't have done this without you!
With two days left, we are on a mission to reach 210 donors - a record breaking number for us! If you could reach out to everyone you know and help us reach this goal, we would really appreciate that!
This year we set out to break records in fundraising and in competition. You are making that happen!
Last two days - here we go!!

Good Afternoon!
Because of your generosity, we were able to purchase a new engine for our car this year. Click on "Read Update" for the video! This major improvement will allow us to build a faster car than ever before. This is just one way your donation is making an immediate impact and making it possible for us to shoot for that top 20!
Every donation that comes in really makes a difference so please continue to share with everyone you know. We are at 61% to our goal and we can't get to the full amount without you! mas.nmsu.edu/saebaja

Good Afternoon,
We've got some exciting news... Next Tuesday we will begin working on our Baja race car! So far, we've had 68 donors come together to donate toward our team and because of you we have raised $5,256. THANK YOU!!!
Baja is student-run, from parts purchasing to design and assembly. We cannot pursue our passion without your support and we are extremely grateful for your investment in student engineers.

Hey Baja Family!
We wanted to take a moment to personally thank each and everyone of you for your donations so far. Your support makes a positive impact as we gather the parts we need to start working on the car.
Because of your generosity, we are already 50% of the way to our goal! But $10,000 is still a big number so now isn't the time to take our foot off the gas. We need you to share this link with your friends, family and fellow aggies: https://mas.nmsu.edu/SAEbaja
Every contribution makes it possible for us to compete on the national level. Thanks for all your support, we couldn't make it happen without you!!
