Going purple at TMS

TCU has great friends and supporters across the Metroplex! When Mayor Betsy Price and members of the Fort Worth City Council encouraged all residents and businesses in town to wear purple on Tuesday in support of TCU, the staff at the Texas Motor Speedway responded. Mike Zizzo, vice president of media relations at the speedway, sent these photos to campus on Tuesday, noting, "I just wanted you to know that the school continues to have Texas Motor Speedway’s unwavering support. To show our support, the entire staff wore a purple piece of clothing and we have TCU on our marquee today in addition to a plan to run full-page ads in the school newspaper on consecutive weeks (late March, early April). We’re behind you!"

Mayor Price said the recent actions taken by the university against illegal drugs are more examples of why TCU has been and will remain an outstanding organization.

“This is our opportunity to stand up for TCU and show that everyone in Fort Worth loves our Horned Frogs,” Price said. “TCU is a world-class university, and they pride themselves on providing a safe and healthy place for students to learn and succeed. TCU sent a strong message that any attempt to harm its students or its reputation won't be tolerated, and we fully support them.”
