Although the "H" Association has an "official" mission statement (click on "Mission" above), more informally, it really does two basic things.

First, it is a way for us lettermen to give back to the University of Houston Athletic Program and its student athletes. In this regard, we have two large fundraisers each year, the annual Bar-B-Que and the Cougar Classic Golf Tournament. From the proceeds from these events, we are able donate money to the program each year by direct contributions, sponsoring the Coaches' golf tournaments, buying tables at the awards banquet and the like.

Second, we provide a central place for our former lettermen to gather at football and baskeball games by sponsoring the single largest tailgate party at Robertson Stadium, and parties before and after each home basketball game in the "H" Room in Hofheinz Pavillion.
