Flatwater’s Dam That Cancer Presented by TYLER’S is the premier fundraising event for Flatwater.

On September 16th, Lake Austin will provide the stunning backdrop for the 15th annual 21-mile stand-up paddle + party event. In April our paddler application will open and in May, this year’s 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 Kristine Lilly, Aaron Peirsol, Trey Hardee, 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 2023 event that raised over $1.3M for Flatwater. With your support, we know that our lofty $1.4M 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 from 6-8PM – walking distance from 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.
