Healing those who serve

Project Healing Waters’ flagship event is the New York City Healing on the Fly Gala. We’re excited for this wonderful opportunity to honor 20 years of healing those who serve. Please join the donors, Veterans, partners, volunteers, and active duty military service members as we gather to celebrate the mission and highlight the future of Project Healing Waters. This year’s Gala will be held Wednesday 8 October 2025.

Individual seats for the Gala will be available at $425 per seat.

Project Healing Waters (PHW) leads the way in aiding the physical and emotional recovery of American service members and Veterans. Using fly fishing as a therapeutic activity, we aim to foster resilience through community and connection. We offer a unique healing experience across the nation that goes beyond just the fly rod and vise.

For the last 17 years Angler’s Covey has hosted a showing of the F3T here in Colorado Springs. We have used this as a fundraiser for various organizations in the past. This year, the F3T will be bigger and better!
100% of proceeds will go to the Morning Hatch Foundation, which will then distribute the funds to key partners addressing mental health in the community such as Project Healing Waters, The Mayfly Project, Reeling in Serenity, Fishing the Good Fight, and more!

This event will feature the current top films in the fly fishing industry, friends, food and drinks, a raffle, Live Guide auction, and more! Remember, this is a benefit for mental health and 100% of proceeds will go directly to organizations that address mental health.

Help us make this years annual F3T the best one yet!

Tickets can be picked up at Angler’s Covey or at will call the day of the show.
