10 Reasons Why You Should Be A Part Of TCU's 2015 Frogs For The Cure

Now that the Horned Frogs have made a name for themselves (HELLO Big 12 Champs!), let's talk about why you should be a part of TCU's 2015 Frogs for the Cure.

Texas Christian University Frogs for the Cure is dedicated to supporting those with breast cancer and helping to find a cure. The university's partnership with Susan G. Komen began in 2005 when TCU athletics introduced the first ever pink out football game to honor breast cancer survivors.

More than 200 committee members, including students, staff and faculty, community leaders and members of the medical community, plan activities year-round. Frogs for the Cure is chaired by Ann Louden, the TCU Chancellor's Associate for Strategic Partnerships, herself a survivor.

In 2010, Frogs for the Cure launched the first ever music video on a college campus to inspire survivors and supporters. Each year, the music video has attracted more participants and celebrities and went national in 2014.

To date, more than $450,000 has been donated to the Susan G. Komen® Greater Fort Worth because of TCU Frogs for the Cure programs.

Whether you're a newly hatched Horned Toad who just completed your first week of college, a senior ready to leave the pond, a Fort Worthian or general TCU fan (to be honest we want anyone and everyone to get involved!)- TCU Frogs for the Cure wants you to know why you should be a part of the 2015 campaign:

1. Texas Christian University was the FIRST university in America to officially partner with Susan G. Komen in the fight against breast cancer.

As if you needed another reason to be a Horned Frog fan.

2. The Horned Frogs have won 9 out of 10 Frogs for the Cure football games since the program began in 2005.
