The Mission Briefing:

The Strategy:

Project Paintball (HTPB) is tactical therapy. We utilize the high-energy environment of paintball to bridge that gap. By putting veterans back into a team-based mission, we force communication, rebuild trust, and provide a healthy outlet for the adrenaline service members often miss.

The Problem:

When the uniform comes off, the unit disappears. For many veterans, the "Transition Gap" isn't just about finding a job—it’s about losing the high-stakes teamwork and communication that defined their lives. Isolation becomes the new enemy.

The Logistics Breakdown:

Impact Status

Amount

The Geedunk Fund: Provides essential hydration, snacks, and "small stores" for veterans during a long day on the field.

$5 / $10

Individual Sponsorship: Covers a full day of entry, high-grade paint, and safety gear for one veteran.

$100

$1000

Milestone, we will pivot from rentals to full outfitting, allowing for recurring "Field-X" days at Full Operational Capability (FOC).

$5000

The Objective:

We are currently in the Founding Phase. Every dollar raised goes directly toward securing the gear kits (masks, markers, safety equipment) and field sponsorships required to host our first event. We aren't just looking for donors; we are looking for partners to help us build this from the ground up.

Donor Bonus:

By donating to this project, you will receive a monthly email on how to level up your PB game, curated from some of the best names in paintball.
