Huckin' For Laura 2010 Coed Hat Tournament - March 13

Mon, 01/18/2010 - 19:31 — wavy11

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 a scholarship fund to benefit a deserving ultimate player in their future college endeavors, as well as Meals on Wheels.

Please come out to support Meals On Wheels of Greater Houston and to remember our friend, Laura.

Thanks to the volunteers who make this event possible!
