We had such a great time at the first annual Flip You, Leukemia! flip cup tournament at RFD on Saturday.  So many people came out and supported Team Haupt and donated to the fight against leukemia.  Special thanks to Whitney and Linnea for putting it all together…can’t wait for next years event!

Those of you in the DC area — come on out to RFD for a charity Flip-Cup Tournament and help support Team Haupt!  If you want to join an existing team or start your own please contact us at flip.you.leukemia@gmail.com.  Can’t wait to start flipping!

Lots of fun at Portside.  Thanks to all who came out and supported Team Haupt!
