💙 Honor and Passion 

This event honors Travis County First Responders Kristin McLain & Jessica Hollis, who found strength, healing, and joy in the water. Their legacy lives on through Operation Get Out (OGO), a 501c3 nonprofit providing outdoor experiences, events and resources for individuals and organizations facing stress, grief, illness, trauma, anxiety, and loss.

All proceeds from this event directly support Operation Get Out’s mission—to harness the healing power of water and nature for wellness and mental health.

We invite you to consider going one step further: by donating an additional registration, you can gift this empowering experience to a female first responder, nurse, or member of the military. Your generosity ensures these brave women receive the restoration and support they so deeply deserve.

👉 Register now - this event sells out every year - and is one you do not want to miss!

 

"After our event with Operation Get Out, I came home a more complete person, a better mother, and wife. My mind and heart feel freer from the anxiety and stress that I had carried from years of service."
~ U.S. Army National Guard
