Causes We Support

Wilderness Systems Kayaks is committed to supporting causes that align with our mission and core values.

 

HEROES ON THE WATER
 

Heroes on the Water creates alternative therapeutic programs to serve veterans, active-duty military personnel, first responders and their families. The primary goal of the program is to assist these individuals with their physical and mental recovery by introducing them to the therapeutic qualities of fishing from kayaks.  Volunteer-led chapters around the United States hold events which are free for our nation’s heroes and offer much-needed camaraderie and support.
