Huck Cancer 3 - Saturday March 3, 2012
Keep On Huckin'

The 3rd Annual Huck Cancer Ultimate Frisbee Tournament is taking flight on Saturday, March 3rd to raise money to help fight cancer in solidarity with our friend and defending HC Champ Eric Arons, and so many others. The Huck Cancer Ultimate Frisbee hat tourney is your opportunity to get involved in the fight against cancer.

We raised over $50,000 last year, and are going to do it again this year. Read about last years tourney in the Livestrong Quarterly Newsletter

The Cause

The Lance Armstrong Foundation (LAF). LAF funds cancer research and supports complementary care programs around the country. A great deal of their success stems from grassroots events like this. Top fundraisers will get prizes!

The Participants

All ultimate players are invited. You do not have to play the full day of tournament games to participate in this event. Former players and friends and family of players can all pitch in by donating to the Lance Armstrong Foundation. We also strongly encourage spectator attendance at this event, as we will have a variety of activities on the sidelines and in between games to entertain and inform you.

We at Bay Area Disc Association consider the Huck Cancer Tournament our signature fundraising event of the year. Questions or comments? Please check out Frisbee Central first, then write us at info (at) huckcancer (dot) org if you need additional help.

Cancer touches us all. The Huck Cancer Ultimate Frisbee Tournament was borne when our good friend (and defending HC Champ), Eric Arons, was diagnosed with cancer. When friends approached Eric about doing something "formal" in his honor, he unselfishly (and very characteristically) turned the spotlight away from himself, and suggested we set up a fundraising event that would involve something fun. These simple ideas evolved into the Huck Cancer Ultimate Tournament.
