Volunteer Hall of Fame

"I volunteer because I know how water saves Rick’s life. I see how
he is driven to help others enjoy the water and use it to heal. So I
volunteer to help others heal like it helped him. Additionally, we
are a team. He’s not the only founder. I helped him achieve this
dream we founded it together."

"I volunteer because it's my way of giving back to our Military and First Responders and help with their mental health and
wellbeing."

"Volunteering with TFH1 is a way to share camaraderie
with fellow veterans while providing a way to give
back and contribute within my community."

"I'm a retired FDNY 1st responder. I truly believe that Liquid Therapy
works, so paying it forward by introducing Surfing and Paddling to all interested works. Camaraderie with fellow Vets creates a very positive group to share their experiences, and adapting to society life."

"I volunteer to give back and enjoy the camaraderie with TFH1. I
love to see people being happy and trying new things. I think it
helps me to be around the group."

"My uncle Rick helped start this organization, I have many military family members, and volunteering with TFH1 helps me feel more connected to them.  I see the affect it has on the people who have served our country and I love having the opportunity to capture those connections to bring in new members to share the stoke. "

"I volunteer because truly connecting with others matters when it comes to supporting mental health. Numerous relatives have served; and it’s an honor to give back in some small but meaningful way to men and women who have devoted themselves to defending our nation.  TFH1 is more than a community, it's a chosen family."

"Volunteering for Task Force holds a special significance for my family and I, as I have a deep love for helping others and making a positive impact on the lives of those who have served. I understand firsthand the sacrifices made by service members and their families. I believe volunteering with military programs can be a rewarding and meaningful way to make a difference in the lives of service members and their families."
