About Fight Like a Girl 
The Fight Like A Girl Tournament, or FLAG for short, is an annual Halo tournament that raises money and awareness for breast and cervical cancer research. Every year, hundreds of gamers come together one weekend in October to have fun, play some games, and donate to our cause. 
Organizers Kari Toyama (THE DON WAN) and Tasha Pettengill (Zoom Demon) have organized this tournament since 2006. To date, we have raised over $15,000 for breast and cervical cancer research.
