Background Information
Sara Softball was created in 2013 in loving memory of Sara Rose Hougom, a West Salem native and Western Technical College student, in hope to create a stronger community. Sara was shot and killed in her apartment on a Monday afternoon while getting ready to go to work by an unknown intruder. The tournment is organized and operated annually by the Chi Phi Fraternity - Pi Theta Chapter at the University of Wisconsin - La Crosse.
Sara was a close friend to many of the Chi Phi Brothers and girlfriend to Chi Phi Alumnus Scott Hogan. The Pi Theta Chapter is honored to hold this annual charity softball tournament in memory of Sara and to promote violence awareness and prevention in La Crosse, Wisconsin and its surrounding communities.
