As a TCU Alum, I am very excited about the Frogs for the Cure game on Saturday, November 14. Tickets can be purchased online at www.gofrogs.com, enter the promo code “scouts”. TCU will donate $5 from each ticket purchased online to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure, Tarrant County.
Not only is this going to be a great game, but it also highlights Women’s Health, one of our signature programs. Women’s Health programs focus on healthy living, disease prevention, physical fitness and good nutrition. A strong emphasis is through the Pink Connection programs which promote breast cancer awareness and prevention programs for girls and their mothers.
The founder of Girl Scouting, Juliette Gordon Low, died of breast cancer. To honor her memory, Girl Scout Juniors created Think Pink beaded bracelets for breast cancer survivors participating in Race for the Cure events. Various breast cancer awareness Girl Scout activities take place year-round. To help, consider volunteering with your local Susan G. Komen for the Cure Affiliate office.
Has your troop participated in Pink Connection programs? What did you think of them?
The first is the Women of Distinction banquet in Lubbock on Tuesday, November 10. This event honors women in the Abilene and Lubbock regions who have inspired girls to achieve the highest ideals of character, conduct, patriotism and service.
The second is the Partnership Luncheon in Amarillo on Wednesday, November 11. This event recognizes those who have excelled in their support of Girl Scouting.
