Important dates: We will accept donations on weekends only (Sat/Sun) from 9 AM to 4 PM, and our last day to drop off is 12/7.

Our Thank-You to Donors: Save $5 on Consumables

We appreciate every donation, and we want to make it a little easier to gear up for your next game day. When you bring a new, unwrapped toy, you’ll get:

$5 off paintballs (500/1000/2000 counts—all eligible)

$5 off Airsoft BBs (bottle/bag—your choice)

Simple guidelines:

• Discount valid in-store only during checkout on the same day you donate

• Applies to paintballs or BBs only (not admission, rental packages, or other promos)

• One discount per person per day

• Donations must be new and unwrapped

• Final weekend to donate and redeem at our location is Dec 7 (with 12/7 as the last day we’re accepting donations)

Why a consumables perk? It’s straightforward, valuable, and inclusive. Whether you’re a paintball regular or part of our Airsoft community, this “thank you” helps with the essentials you already use—while keeping the focus on giving.

What to Donate (Simple Ideas That Always Help)

Not sure what to bring? Consider these popular, age-appropriate ideas:

• For younger kids: Creative kits, building blocks, dolls, board books, basic sports balls, stuffed animals (with tags)

• For older kids/teens: Headphones, Bluetooth speakers, card games, puzzles, sketchbooks + markers, sports gear, STEM kits, accessory sets

• Universal winners: Board games, art supplies, craft kits, beginner musical instruments, science kits

Please avoid: Used items, unwrapped items, realistic-looking toy weapons, perishable foods, or anything fragile without proper packaging.

Make It a Team Effort

If you’re organizing a birthday party, group outing, or team-building day at the field between now and December 7, consider turning it into a mini toy drive:

• Ask each participant to bring one toy

• Snap a photo at the bin

• Tag your team or group so others see the impact

• Remind players they’ll each receive $5 off consumables as a thank-you

This is a great way to teach younger players about giving back and to underscore the sportsmanship and camaraderie that make our community special.

FAQs

Can I donate on weekdays?

At our location, donations are accepted Saturdays and Sundays from 9 AM to 4 PM only. If you can’t make it during those times, consider sending a toy with a friend who’s playing that weekend.

Do I have to be playing to donate?

No. You’re welcome to stop by just to donate—no booking or gameplay required.

Is there a minimum value for toys?

There’s no required dollar amount. We simply ask that items be new and unwrapped, and chosen with care. Think “something you’d be excited to give.”

Can I donate multiple toys?

Absolutely. Every toy helps. Our thank-you perk is one $5 discount per person per day at checkout.

Our thank-you perk is specifically for paintballs or Airsoft BBs (bottle/bag). It doesn’t apply to admission, rentals, or other promotions.
