THE EvoLUTION OF OUR EVENTS
Through facilitating swim lessons and providing food security to communities in need, we integrated an aspect that we felt was essential to making our impact even stronger:
community connection through events We felt that the missing piece in our work was to add an experience that would allow our attendees to feel connected to one another. So as creatives and musicians by trade, our natural inclination was to lean towards organizing community events to engage both the people we serve and the partners who make all of our work possible.
Our community events have evolved over the years from small and intimate post-swim social chats to concerts and food booths at music festivals like Austin City Limits Music Festival.
Want to collaborate or host an event with us? Email hello@tankproof.org and we’ll get back to you in the next 2-3 business days!
