2010-11 ACCOMPLISHMENTS

The momentum around TCU athletics is defined in the TCU Frog Club and its incredible network of volunteers. The 2010-11 fiscal year saw the Frog Club top $5 million in donations and 5,000 members for the first time, just two of many records set. The Frog Club’s emphasis is on the student-athlete and raising Scholarships for Champions. The growth of the Frog Club has mirrored that of TCU’s athletics programs. Now in its 71st year, the Frog Club is positioned to help take TCU to the next level. •
