Words and whacks

Laura Leman Genung, Chris Hilgert, and Sean Keenan (pictured, from left) hit the pickleball court for Houston Aphasia Recovery Center’s (HARC) inaugural Words & Whacks tournament. HARC assists patients living with aphasia, a condition resulting from stroke or brain injury that results in communications difficulties like speaking or understanding words. The tournament brought together more than 80 guests at The Houstonian Hotel, Club and Spa, and raised more than $40,000 during the “paddle for a purpose” event to support Texans with aphasia.
