Celebrity paintball tournament hosted by PEACEFund: Organization offers creative platform to raise money for charity

By Anne Hall

PEACEFund is bringing together professional paintball stars with star-studded actors and

actresses to help earn money for a nonprofit awareness campaign that provides support for

youths struggling through matters of life.

The non-profit organization, created by Adrian Paul, is designed to help children in need through

raising awareness and money by hosting charity events such as this one.

Not only is PEACEFund working to earn money for their organization, but the event is also

designed to allow the honored guests to represent their own charities. Winners of each event will

be able to choose where the proceeds go.

Existing celebrities registered for participating in the event include: Adrian Paul of Highlander,

Robbie Jones from Tyler Perry’s Temptation, Bret Lockett (formerly played for New England

Patriots), Wesley Jonathan of What I Like About You, Kyle Massey of Dancing with the Stars,

Walter Jones of the Power Rangers, Jacqueline Toboni of Grimm and many more.

CSUSM students, staff and faculty members are encouraged to attend and participate in

community events such as this in order to help raise money and awareness for local charities in

need.

Weekend tickets can be purchased and daily tickets are just $25 per day with a $15 parking fee.

Various other options are listed. For a one-of-a-kind experience, $1,000 allows teams of up to

seven to register together to team up with one pro and one celebrity as part of their group.

The two day event will take place on Saturday, Dec. 6 and Sunday, Dec. 7 at the Camp

Pendleton Paintball Park in Oceanside.

Tickets can be purchased online at http://www.thepeacefundgames.org/tickets.php or at the event

location: 1700 Vandergrift Blvd, Oceanside, CA 92057.

Registration begins at 8 a.m. while the celebrity tournament will start at 10 a.m. The

organization hopes to host the world’s largest paintball battle on Sunday as everyone will come

together for a day long war to challenge stamina and wit.

Camp Pendleton has a restriction against automatic paintball guns, but bring your rags and

microfiber cloths, auto-feed hopper, double triggers, extra pods and semi-automatic paintball

guns if you’ve got them. Of course, loads of water, Gatorade and snacks would be wise

accessories. Keep in mind that the entire weekend is intended to be days full of fun.
