Proceeds from this event support a local veteran non-profit providing recreational/rehabilitative programs to Disabled Veterans
Operation Comfort has served over 8,500 Wounded, Ill, and Injured Service Members and Disabled Veterans of all military branches, and eras since 2004. We are a grassroots military support organization serving San Antonio and the surrounding area.
Our vision is to promote an inclusive and positive recreational and rehabilitative environment offering five core adaptive programs on a weekly basis. Our core programs consist of Cycling, Aquatics, Yoga, Sled Hockey, and Woodworking. We do offer monthly skill development clinics for cycling, as well as cardio boxing, hiking, a yearly sled hockey camp, and other outdoor activities.
It is our hope that keeping participants active and engaged will enhance their lives by providing a place to build friendships, form a family with us and other veterans, and a place to reach goals or focus on themselves in an inclusive environment.
