War Heroes on Water WHOW

Since its inaugural event in 2018, the War Heroes on Water Fishing Tournament has been focused on providing on-water therapeutic relief to combat-wounded veterans. The WHOW Tournament has grown from hosting 27 veterans and raising just over $200,000 to committing to serving 100+ veterans and raising $1M in 2021. This planned growth will make WHOW one of the largest on-water combat-wounded veteran therapeutic programs of its kind in the country. 

Conceptualized by loanDepot Founder and CEO Anthony Hsieh, WHOW enables the Southern California sportfishing community to display their immense gratitude and respect for servicemen and women who have sacrificed so much for our great nation. 

The WHOW Tournaments enable veterans to connect with fellow veteran heroes to establish invaluable, potentially lifelong bonds. These powerful connections give all participants a lifeline of acceptance and understanding as they continue their integration back into civilian life.
