TCU Theta Cook off and 5K
TCU Kappa Alpha Theta
Since 1989, Kappa Alpha Theta has proudly supported CASA as its national philanthropy—and the Gamma Psi Chapter at TCU has been a standout local partner. Through creative campus events and meaningful fundraising, TCU Thetas help raise awareness and critical funds for our mission.
Each spring, they host CASA Cookoff, a fun-filled burger competition between fraternities in the TCU Commons, followed by a Horned Frogs baseball game.
In the fall, tthe Gamma Psi chapter of KAO holds an annual 5K run in memory of Tracy Clark, a member of the class of 1993. Tracy's idea for a 5K led to the first Breakaway event in 1997. Tragically, she passed away in an automobile accident at a young age, and the event was renamed in her honor in 1999. Since then, the TCU Theta chapter has been organizing the 5K to raise funds for two beneficiaries: CASA of Tarrant County and the Kappa Alpha Theta Foundation. All proceeds from the race are donated to these organizations.
Nationally, the Kappa Alpha Theta Foundation strengthens this impact by awarding a biennial $60,000 grant to support CASA’s volunteer resources and outreach. We’re incredibly grateful for the Thetas’ continued dedication to children in foster care.
