LANEY HOWELL - FOUNDER OF THE HATTERAS ISLAND CANCER FOUNDATION
The Hatteras Island Cancer Foundation was founded in December, 2000, by Laney Howell.
Laney, who was born and grew up in Scotland Neck, N.C., moved to Hatteras village in 1996. Shortly after she arrived here, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. After surgery in early 1997, she went through 4 1/2 years of chemotherapy, radiation, and stem cell replacement therapy.
The Hatteras Grand Slam has implemented a tournament level in memory of Laney Howell. This will be a Women's Billfish Level, with proceeds to be awarded to the Level V Winner (1st Place Only) and the HICF.
The Hatteras Grand Slam...
Within the last six years, the Hatteras Grand Slam Tournament has tripled in size. A bet which had started between Captains fishing one day offshore in the prime of Marlin season off the Hatteras Coastline in 2005, has become a successful Offshore Tournament. In 2010, we had 35 boats and their crewmembers which participated in the tournament. This growth in participation allowed the community to successfully implement a “grass roots” tournament. This year’s mission is continued growth. Additionally, the board wishes to promote the tournament encouraging a wider range of boaters to participate.
The goal of the tournament is to highlight the excellent offshore billfish fishing in Hatteras during the summer season. Additionally, the tournament is not exclusive and invites everyone to participate regardless of fishing experience or boat style.
The Captains, local marinas and businesses have been very receptive about having a tournament in the community during peak billfish season. Additionally, the Hatteras Harbor Charter Boat Association, Waterman’s United, Hatteras Harbor Marina, Village Marina, local restaurants and hotels have all been instrumental in participating and promoting the event for the last two years. In order to continue the growth of the tournament, all are committed to promoting the event.
With this support, the Hatteras Grand Slam Board of Directors was able to donate money to local charities within the community. Our goal each year is to increase our donation to the Waterman’s United and Hatteras Island Cancer Foundation.
Furthermore, the Grand Slam Board of Directors and the Tournament Committee Chair are contacting last year’s participants to encourage their participation again for the 2011 tournament. Also, the website is linked with the Registration Form and Rules of the Tournament an entry form that can be downloaded to facilitate registration.
