Wake for Warriors is a 501 (c) 3 all volunteer non profit organization dedicated to assisting veterans and their families.

Wake for Warriors is not just another veterans charity; it's a lifeline for our wounded veterans and their families. Through the transformative power of water sports, we provide therapeutic experiences that go beyond the ordinary.

“Wake for warriors has given me the opportunity to do something I've always wanted to do. I not only get to try, but I have been taught well enough to ride, which makes me a step closer to the mentality that 'this is my life, it is normal. I am normal.'"
