17th Annual Flatwater's Dam That Cancer Presented by TYLER'S
No one faces cancer alone with Flatwater. Every dollar raised through Flatwater’s Dam That Cancer Presented by TYLER’S goes directly toward providing access to mental health therapy for individuals, couples, and families facing the emotional toll of cancer.
Now in its 17th year, Dam That Cancer (DTC) is Flatwater’s premier annual fundraising event - a community-powered day on Lake Austin that brings people together on and off the water in support of mental health care when it’s needed most.
