Row2 Hold Fast 2025 Annual Fundraising Event

Veterans Day Weekend • November 7, 2025. Crossfit Lakeville MN.


Row with Purpose. Empower Veterans.

Row2 Hold Fast 2025 Fundraising event is back for its fourth year, uniting communities to raise awareness and funds for the Big Fish Foundation. Together, we’re making a tangible impact in the lives of Veterans.


The Mission

Every $1,500 raised sends one Veteran to a transformative Big Fish Foundation event. These retreats provide connection, resilience, and healing — an experience many call life-changing.

  • In 2024, the Row2 Hold Fast community funded 18 Veterans to attend a Big Fish event.

  • In 2025, we’re setting our sights even higher: to fund 30 Veterans and help them to bridge the gap between military service and civilian life.

This is a bold goal — but one that can be accomplished as a community.
