Play Balanced, Play Bold

We will host a fun fitness and games event called Play Balanced, Play Bold to benefit the Mack Adams Scholarship Fund. The event will be held on Thursday, October 8, 2026 at 5:00pm, right before the evening entertainment.

Join your fellow TASFAA Conference attendees for beach volleyball and other games right on the shores of South Padre Island — a perfect way to warm up for the night ahead while supporting future financial aid professionals.

This event offers a chance to embrace this year's conference theme before the evening kicks off — staying balanced on the sand and being bold on the court, all for a great cause.

Donation: $25

All participants will receive a t-shirt. Pre-register now and pay on-site at check-in (cash, check, and credit cards accepted). On-site registration will also be available; however, t-shirts and sizes may be limited.

The Mack Adams Scholarship Fund donation is not included in the Fall Conference registration fee.

Charity Raffle

We will host a charity raffle at the conference, and all proceeds will go directly to our selected charity: the Laguna Madre Education Foundation.

We ask that our generous members donate items to be raffled. Whether it's a swag bag from your institution, gift cards, or a solicited item from a local business — any and all donations are welcome!

Thank you for helping us make a difference in the South Padre Island community.
