The Tailgreeter Cure Bowl wouldn’t be able to raise over $3.88 million in its first six years for  Cancer Research without help from our partners.

The UCF College of Medicine is a research-based medical school with a culture based on partnerships and collaboration. The college’s medical and biomedical programs capitalize on UCF’s existing strengths in biological sciences, modeling and simulation, engineering, optics and photonics, psychology, chemistry, film and digital media, business and nursing. The college is also the home of Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF) researcher Dr. Annette Khaled, the head of the Division of Cancer Research. She has received $1.2 million of the funds raised in the first three Cure Bowl games played.

The Cure Bowl is a platform to help raise funds to benefit the nation’s highest-rated breast cancer organization, the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, whose mission is committed to exclusively funding cancer research. By investing in research, we all have the power to transform this diagnosis and save lives. Founded by Evelyn H. Lauder in 1993, BCRF-funded investigators have been deeply involved in every major breakthrough in breast cancer prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship. This year, BCRF has awarded $66 million to support the work of more than 275 scientists at leading medical and academic institutions across 15 countries, making BCRF the largest private funder of breast cancer research worldwide. BCRF is the highest rated breast cancer organization in the U.S.—the only one with an “A+” from CharityWatch and Charity Navigator’s highest rating of four stars. Every dollar makes a difference. We are all part of the cure.  The end of breast cancer begins with you.

The American Athletic Conference consists of 13 prestigious institutions: the University of Central Florida, the University of Cincinnati, East Carolina University, the University of Connecticut, the University of Houston, the University of Memphis, the U.S. Naval Academy (in football only), the University of South Florida Southern Methodist University, Temple University, Tulane University, the University of Tulsa, and Wichita State University (in basketball and Olympic sports). The American has taken its place at the forefront of intercollegiate athletics, with a collection of national team and individual championships and football and men’s and women’s basketball postseason victories that place The American among the elite Division I FBS conferences. The Cure Bowl is one of the seven postseason bowl game tie-ins for The American.

The Sun Belt Conference features 12 teams – Appalachian State University, University of Arkansas at Little Rock (in Olympic sports), Arkansas State University, Coastal Carolina University, Georgia Southern University, Georgia State University, University of Louisiana-Lafayette, University of Louisiana-Monroe, University of South Alabama, University of Texas Arlington (in Olympic sports) Texas State University and Troy University. The Sun Belt Conference continues to challenge itself, and its competitors, in all aspects of intercollegiate athletics. Not content with being simply the youngest football conference in the Football Bowl Subdivision, the conference has shown that it can rise each and every season that comes along. The Sun Belt is also noteworthy for its attempts to make each of its championship events in every sport a special moment in the lives of its student-athletes and its many fans and followers.

Since its inception in 1946, the Mid-American Conference has progressively grown and developed into one of the most aggressive Division I conferences in the country. One of only 10 football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) conferences, the MAC named Dr. Jon A. Steinbrecher as its eighth commissioner in March of 2009. The league hosts championships in 23 sports, including neutral-site events at some of the finest facilities in the nation – football (Ford Field, Detroit), men’s and women’s basketball (Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse, Cleveland), softball (Firestone Stadium, Akron) and baseball (Sprenger Stadium, Avon, Ohio). The MAC secured a two-year contract extension with Ford Field to host the MAC Football Championship Game through the 2021 football season.

Conference USA continues to compete and promote the success of its student-athletes. The league has adapted to the ever-changing landscape of collegiate athletics in its 26-year history, but the commitment to excellence, integrity, leadership and its student-athletes in competition, academics and community is unwavering. Conference USA enjoys a far-reaching fan base with its 14 members: Charlotte, FIU, Florida Atlantic, Louisiana Tech, Marshall, Middle Tennessee, North Texas, Old Dominion, Rice, Southern Miss, UAB, UTEP, UTSA and WKU.
