$900,000 raised for veterans in one day

The 4th annual Paintball With A Mission tournament hosted by
Swim With a Mission
and OSG Paintball has come and gone. This is our favorite day of the season, where we get to do what we do best to help support our Veterans.
what is it?
Paintball With A Mission is a private charity event aimed to raise money and honor our veterans while delivering a powerful leadership training and team building day. This year we had 24 teams sign up. Each team consists of 10 players and one Navy SEAL. These teams are mostly made up of players who have minimal to no paintball experience. Everyone shoots the same marker, same paint, and plays the same games throughout the day ranging from elimination, capture the flag, and hostage rescue.
Along with non-stop paintball, Jason Kuhn, Rick Kaiser, Grant Mann, Rick Woolard, medal of honor recipient Mike Thornton, Harry Bologna, Grant Mann, and Hector Delgato each tell their stories and talk about what it takes to be a Navy SEAL, not just during deployment, but everything that comes after.

Being a private event, there isn't much hype leading up to it. Even with minimal marketing, this has become the largest paintball charity event in history and has grown exponentially year after year.
K9 With A Mission
K9 With A Mission is a program designed to fund support, service and companion dogs for our Veterans. This is a program under the umbrella of Swim With A Mission, a not for profit, which since its formation in 2017 has already donated over $6 million to support our Veterans.
This program has become a crowd favorite since this event started. Before paintball even began, $300,000 was raised on the spot to help train and pair Veterans with service dogs.
"When we reflect on our Veterans, especially those that have been in combat and have seen and done things that are incomprehensible to the rest of us, those experiences are hard to process and cope with. When they arrive back on their home soil and find themselves outside the battlefield, without other soldiers, it can be hard for them to carry the weight of what they have experienced...
The companionship of a support dog has been known to have a very positive impact on Veterans, so we need to do what we can to get dogs to Veterans who need them. We invite you to be inspired and join our mission to match the finest and most capable dogs with Veterans who need the physical and emotional support of a battle buddy that loves them unconditionally.
Each organization benefiting from K9 With A Mission was established to provide veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress, anxiety, traumatic brain injuries, and physical disabilities with a highly-trained service dog free of charge. Many of the organizations train dogs from rescue organizations, shelters, animal control agencies, and humane societies. All of them are committed to giving back to our country’s veterans and improve their quality of life and restoring their independence. The goal of many of these charities is to create a mutually beneficial relationship between the dogs and the veterans."

The final weekend of the 2024 season has come and gone. Normally, we shut the field down and go into hibernation until March. This year, things will be a bit different. We are taking a few weeks off to spend the holidays with family and friends, and will reopen on January 4th, 2025.

November 7, 2024
The final scenario of the year is this weekend, and it's BYOP! For one day only, we are bringing the 80's back. Collect Mario coins and VHS tapes, go Back to the Future, experience a Nightmare on Elm Street, or spend a Weekend at Bernies. Nostalgia is the name of the game, and we are here to deliver the good times.
