FORT WORTH, Texas -- TCU presented a $16,000 check Thursday to members of the Susan G. Komen Tarrant County Affiliate in a campus ceremony inside the John Justin Athletic Center.

TCU's Pink Out promotion, held at the Nov. 5 home football game with Colorado State and coordinated by the campus community, raised the funds for Fort Worth breast cancer patients.

Through its partnership with the Susan G. Komen Foundation, TCU provided the second-largest Komen fundraiser in Fort Worth next to the Race for the Cure. It was also the largest survivor event ever held in Fort Worth.

The funds were generated from ticket sales for the game purchased through the local Komen office as well as proceeds from Pink Out T-shirt and hat sales at the TCU Bookstore.

Seventy-five percent of funds raised locally are used in Tarrant County to assist breast cancer patients.
