CFC AWARENESS WEEKEND
This weekend Tarleton will host the inaugural CFC Awareness Weekend. CFC (Cardio-Facio-Cutaneous) Syndrome is a rare, genetic condition that typically affects the heart, facial features, and skin. Jacoby Conger, the youngest son of Tarleton's head baseball coach Bryan Conger, has this condition and will throw out the first pitch of Tarleton's baseball doubleheader against Texas A&M-Kingsville on Saturday, March 24. For more information about Jacoby and the Conger family, visit TarletonSports.com for the feature 'When Life Threw a Curveball.'
 
On Friday night, all fans are encouraged to visit Chili's Bar and Grill in Stephenville. Chili's will be taking part in the festivities by donating 10 percent of all sales to CFC International. Steel City Pops will also donate 20 percent of its proceeds on Saturday to CFC.
 
Saturday will be a big day at the ball fields as Tarleton will host a silent auction and a post-game concert by country music star, Courtney Patton. In addition to the auction and concert, there will also be catered food trucks on site throughout the day and a bounce house for kids. The teams will be wearing CFC-inspired apparel and fans will receive free wristbands and hats, while supplies last. The silent auction will take place on Saturday from 11:30 a.m. until 4 p.m. under the shaded area in between the baseball and softball facilities. A few of sale items includes:
 
• A framed jersey of Hall of Fame baseball coach Jack Allen, courtesy of Frames Etc.
