Yesterday, August 22, 2026, Revved Up Resilience was more than a car show. It was a reminder of what can happen when a community shows up for the people who spend their careers showing up for everyone else. 🏁💙
And let’s be clear, it was HOT. Texas-in-August hot. ☀️🔥
That makes us even more grateful for every person who came out, brought a car, volunteered, stopped by, grabbed some BBQ, supported the event, or simply spent part of their Saturday with us. You could have stayed home in the air conditioning, and nobody would have blamed you, but you showed up. We truly appreciate it.
On behalf of Overwatch Peer Support, we also want to give a huge THANK YOU to the sponsors and partners who helped make this event possible:
🏆 Gold Sponsor: Principle Services
🥈 Silver Sponsor: The Meadows Texas
🥉 Bronze Sponsor: Room for Change
A very special thank you to our Location Sponsor and Event Partner, Dickey’s Barbecue Pit Rowlett, and Guy New, for opening your doors to us, providing the venue, helping spread the word, and continuing to support the mission behind Revved Up Resilience.
Your support goes far beyond banners, trophies, cars, and one very hot Saturday morning. It helps strengthen the Overwatch Peer Support Program and our ability to provide confidential peer support, connection, resources, and hope to first responders who carry things most people will never see.
Revved Up Resilience has always been about more than the cars.
It is about connection. Community. Resilience.
It is about reminding law enforcement, firefighters, EMS, dispatchers, corrections staff, and every member of the first responder family that asking for help is not weakness, and that they do not have to carry the weight alone.
To every sponsor, partner, participant, volunteer, car owner, family member, and supporter who braved the heat and came out yesterday, thank you.
You helped make the day special, and more importantly, you helped send a message to our first responders:
We see you. We support you. And you never have to carry it alone. 💙
