“Well-behaved women rarely make history.” Laurel Ulrich Thatcher
“Show me a successful community, and I’ll show you individuals from that community giving back to that community.” Fran Harris
But Fran’s heart has always been in the communities that helped raise and groom her for the success she’s enjoyed over three decades — Dallas, Austin and Houston. iBall 3v3 is more than a streetball festival, it’s a community gathering where Fran intends to bring out the best in and of our communities. Her business motto has always been, “when we work, play and pray together, we are always better.”
