TCU’s “Frogs for the Cure” will tailgate for breast cancer awareness

Comment

Prior to the Horned Frogs' game against New Mexico on Sat., Nov. 3, the Frogs for the Cure (led by a committee of about 40 TCU staff, faculty, students, alumni and community supporters of the Susan G. Komen organization) will hold a tailgate for breast cancer survivors and their families. During the game's halftime festivities, attendees will hear from seven local individuals affected by breast cancer, including a student who lost a parent to the disease; a staff member undergoing chemotherapy; and a faculty member who has lost a breast to the disease.

Chair of Frogs for the Cure Ann Louden is encouraging football fans to "pink out" the stadium by dressing in - you guessed it - pink; the halftime activities will culminate with the release of pink balloons by about 1,000 individuals (survivors, supporters and members of student groups) carrying them out onto the field.

A portion of the sales of t-shirts and game tickets (available for purchase here) will go to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure (Tarrant County chapter).

For further information, contact Ann Louden at 817-257-7254 or a.louden@tcu.edu.
