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

The 16th Annual DTC will take place on June 30th, 2025!

On September 16th, Lake Austin provided the stunning backdrop for the 15th annual 21-mile stand-up paddle + party event. This year’s crew of 230 paddlers were incredible – 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 was to provide a ray of hope for people affected by cancer through the services of Flatwater.

A heartfelt thank you to all our paddlers, donors, sponsors and partners for the generous support we received for Flatwater’s Dam That Cancer Presented by TYLER’S 2024. We aimed and surpassed our $1.4M goal, which will provide over 14,000 life saving mental health therapy sessions for those coping with cancer. THANK YOU!

The date for Flatwater’s Dam That Cancer Presented by TYLER’S 2025 has been set for June 30, 2025. Please save the date and check back soon for updates on application timing.
