The Greater Fort Worth Affiliate of Komen could receive up to $25,000 if the FFTC video entry receives the most votes.
Voting begins today, Friday, October 25, and closes November 8. Individuals can vote online every day that the competition is open at www.pinkglovedance.com by searching for TCU Frogs for the Cure.
