TEXSAR's 10th Annual Search Party to Fund Critical Rescue Operations Following Hill Country Floods

Texas Search and Rescue (TEXSAR) will host its 10th annual Search Party fundraising event on September 20th at the Renaissance Hotel in Austin, with proceeds directly supporting the organization's life-saving emergency response capabilities across Texas. The event comes at a critical time as TEXSAR continues its recovery efforts following the recent Hill Country floods, highlighting the ongoing need for well-equipped and trained volunteer responders.

Founded in 2004, TEXSAR operates as a volunteer-based organization that provides specialized emergency services at no cost to those in need. The organization has established itself as an essential component of Texas' disaster response infrastructure, responding to emergencies ranging from natural disasters to missing person cases. The Search Party event serves as the primary fundraising mechanism to ensure team members have the necessary equipment and training to perform their duties effectively.

Jonathan McComb, a TEXSAR member, emphasized the heightened importance of this year's event given recent circumstances. The aftermath of the Hill Country floods has created unprecedented demand for TEXSAR's services, making community support through the Search Party more vital than ever. As a first responder team composed entirely of volunteers, the organization relies heavily on public donations to maintain operational readiness and respond to emergencies across the state.

The 2025 event benefits from the generous support of the Cowboy Auctioneer team, which is donating its services to help maximize fundraising efforts. This partnership demonstrates the strong community support that enables TEXSAR to continue its mission without charging for services.

The continued success of TEXSAR's mission has significant implications for public safety across Texas, particularly as climate-related disasters become more frequent and severe. The organization's ability to respond effectively to emergencies depends directly on community support through events like the Search Party.
