Our Story
On The Water, Inc. was founded in 2012 by Chuck Betts in Minot, North Dakota, after a transformative encounter with a veteran struggling with PTSD. This simple act of inviting a veteran to go fishing sparked the creation of a nonprofit dedicated to offering outdoor recreational experiences for veterans. Since then, the organization has expanded its reach, serving over 100 veterans annually through various events and activities, all at no cost to the participants.
