Celebrate 20 years of our “Healing Journey” at the Healing on the Fly Gala with Veterans and their families, senior military leaders, and supporters of Project Healing Waters. Be a part of the camaraderie and connectedness that fulfills our vision, in support of thousands of Veterans across the country at this flagship event.

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.
