Get Out Girl PaddleJam benefits Operation Get Out in honor of Kristin McLain & Jessica Hollis.


KristinKristin Travis County StarFlight rescue nurse and part of starting our first Get Out Girl PaddleJam in 2014. She was a true Get Out Girl who spent most of her off time paddling, wake surfing, skiing, and boating on Lake Austin to reset and reconnect after tough shifts as a flight nurse. Jessica Hollis, Travis County Senior Deputy, utilized our local lakes similarly, spending family time on them for fun, but also personally benefiting from the calming effects of what being on the water does for your mind and emotions. Both of these inspiring women shared a common mind and heart of "blue" that is now being passed forward to touch the lives of other first responders on the water.

 

Their families and friends have come together to start Operation Get Out (OGO), a 501c3 that gives back to front line responders and veterans through scientifically validated Blue Mind experiences and events that give individuals and agencies the opportunity to experience the unlocking and wellness power of being in, near and on the water. This year OGO has set a goal of raising $100,000 for 400 inflatable paddleboards, backpacks, air pumps, and paddles for our front line responders to utilize for positive mental and emotional wellness experiences on the water using the science of "Blue Mind". All proceeds and donations from PaddleJam will go to OGO to benefit individuals and agencies experiencing stress, illness, anxiety, loss, and PTS.
