Huckin' For Laura 2009
The Houston Ultimate Community invites you to
HFL is a Coed Hat Tournament held in honor of a former teammate and friend to Houston Ultimate, Laura Powell Higgins. Laura was a prominent ultimate player who gave much to the growth of the sport in Houston and Texas. In December of 2002, she was murdered leaving behind her husband and daughter. Since then, every HFL has been in her honor.
We are pleased that proceeds this year will benefit Houston Habitat For Humanity, helping many in our extended Houston community after Hurricane Ike. We encourage you to consider making an additional donation for this organization.
