New This Year:

TCU Gives Day 2025 introduced two exciting initiatives to engage the Horned Frog community:

TCU Alumni Challenge: Chancellor and Mrs. Pullin issued a challenge to show their unwavering commitment to TCU's future. If 500 alumni made a gift, the Pullins committed to contribute $50,000 to support the university. The Alumni Challenge was well received and was a challenge met early during the day.

Flat SuperFrog: For the first time, TCU launched the “Where's Flat SuperFrog?” campaign, inviting Horned Frogs to download Flat SuperFrog, take him on adventures and share photos or videos on social media using #TCUGivesDay. Each day during the campaign, two favorites were featured – one student and one alum, parent or friend – with winners receiving prizes and the opportunity to choose the next TCU area or cause to receive a gift from an anonymous donor. To those who participated, thank you for helping make TCU Gives Day 2025 a resounding success! Your generosity made this a day filled with Purple Pride and demonstrated the strength of our Horned Frog community.
