F R I S B E E F L I N G 2024
Frisbee Fling is an annual frisbee disc golf tournament hosted by Texas Blazers on the campus of The University of Texas. This year marks our 27th anniversary of hosting the event. All proceeds from the Frisbee Fling are channeled into the Texas Blazers Excellence Fund, which aims to alleviate food insecurity and provide essential resources for University of Texas students. This fund goes beyond offering traditional scholarships; it also addresses student food insecurities, internships and classes, housing stipends, professional clothing provision, and emergency financial support.

Why: To raise money for the Texas Blazers Excellence Fund. The Texas Blazers Excellence Fund is an endowment that aims to combat food insecurity on the Forty Acres and provide resources to students in need. We developed a partnership with the UT Outpost, an initiative started to extend our impact and help students survive and thrive during their time on the Forty Acres. Food insecurity, hunger, and a lack of resources are rising issues that affect our UT Austin community; 25% of UT students have experienced food insecurity within the last 30 days. In the past year, the UT Outpost has provided over 8,522 meals to students dealing with food insecurity. The Texas Blazers Excellence Fund will support the UT Outpost so that together, we can ensure that students have access to the resources they need to succeed beyond the classroom. All proceeds and profits from this event go directly to the Texas Blazers Excellence Fund.
All updates to the event will be communicated on our Facebook event page (here).
