Flatwater's Dam That Cancer Presented by TYLER'S

Flatwater’s Dam That Cancer Presented by TYLER’S is the premier fundraising event for Flatwater. Flatwater is an Austin-based nonprofit that provides mental health therapy in the wake of cancer. We connect individuals with therapists to help clear their mind, heal their body, and find the strength to take on a diagnosis.

On September 11th, Lake Austin will provide the stunning backdrop for the 14th annual 21-mile stand-up paddle + party event. In May, the 2023 crew of 230 paddlers will be announced – each one handpicked from a list of hundreds of applicants. Past participants have included Olympic medalists such as Trey Hardee, Kristine Lilly, Aaron Peirsol, Eric Shanteau, and Brendan Hansen, as well as three-time Stanley Cup champion Chris Chelios, and influential Austin business owners, C-level executives, and cancer survivors. The common thread among all participants is to provide a ray of hope for people affected by cancer through the services of Flatwater.

The demand for therapy is greater than ever, and we aim to surpass our record-breaking 2022 event that raised over $1.2M for Flatwater. With your support, we know that our lofty $1.3M goal is achievable!

After the 10-hour, 21-mile paddle, all of Austin is invited to the DTC post-paddle party at the LCRA Redbud Center, within walking distance of the Hula Hut finish line.

It’s shaping up to be another fantastic year, and we want you to be a part of it! Whether you’re a cancer survivor, a caregiver, or someone who wants to make a difference, Flatwater’s Dam That Cancer Presented by TYLER’S offers a unique opportunity to come together with others who share your commitment to this important cause.

This year’s paddler application is now closed. If you’re interested in being added to our waitlist for this year, please join here. Sponsorship, media, and other event inquiries, please contact Chelsea Hardee at chelsea@flatwaterfoundation.org.
