$50,000 Goal

Heroes on the Water empowers U.S. military veterans, law enforcement, and first responders to decompress and reconnect with themselves, their families, their jobs, and their communities. Every day, those who protect us carry unseen wounds - the weight of service that lingers long after the uniform comes off. For thousands, that means silent battles with stress, trauma, and disconnection.

Our kayak fishing program offers continuous outdoor recreation, camaraderie, and a social support network, all at no cost to our heroes or their families, thanks to your generous donations. In our 17 years, we have provided services to 68,000 veterans and first-responders and over 16,000 family members. We began in North Texas and have two volunteer-led chapters serving the region.

With your help, we can raise $50,000 to launch 3 to 4 new chapters and reach 400 more participants through our monthly programs each year. These programs aren’t a one-time experience – they provide recurring opportunities to build camaraderie and healing.
