FREE REGISTRATION FOR VETERANS IS BACK 🇺🇸 BROUGHT TO YOU BY OUR OWN COMMUNITY 🙌
We’re looking for sponsors for our local military community so they can compete for free! Anyone can sponsor registration for $65 dollars each which will go directly to veterans who can use the coupon code “FREEVET” to sign up. We match every registration so each spot paid for is two free entries for veterans and active duty military.
Local businesses who sponsor 5 or more registrations ($325) will get their own code to let veterans know who supports them and they can come set up a booth/display at our next tournament for free. Again, we match every registration paid for so if your business buys 5 that’s 10 registrations available to our military community.
TODAY we’re opening 10 free spots to celebrate 4th of July so everyone interested go sign up NOW with coupon code “FREEVET.”
All registrations are available on a first come, first serve basis so be sure to sign up quickly or check back to see when more spots are open.
Last year we were able to offer free reg to 29 first responders and the military community. This year I’m hoping to more than double that number with some support from our community.
