Impact story
Why Work With US? The Story Behind the Vision! Hello everyone! My name is Daniel "T-Rex" Dunlap, I started this charity in a really emotional and dark time. I had just lost both my parents, my mom died due to complications of breast cancer, then my dad five weeks later. Why paintball you ask? Well it started back when my father was honorably discharged from the Army, and he was having a hard time dealing and adjusting. So he had gone to his primary care and his doctor told him to find a hobby that works with his skill set and suggested paintball. So a week later my dad went out to our local field North Mountain Paintball in Winchester VA, and he tried it, instantly fell in love. I watched as my dad went from being a sack of bones to being himself again. Paintball saved my dads life, and when I got old enough it was something we did together as a team. Why Work With US? The Story Behind the Vision! (Continued) In 2002 I had to stop playing due to a knee injury which honestly shook my whole world. A few of my friends and I went to a 24 hour paintball game and I got hurt. It kept me from going in the military like I wanted but everything happens for a reason. My father started to get sick and he donated all of his equipment to a 11 year old boy at the salvation army he was volunteering at. Watching that kid get my dads equipment was hard I did not understand until I got older. Then I realized how special it truly was. So over the past 20 years I have had 34 surgeries due to injuries 12 on the knee I hurt that night. In 2018 I was in a very dark place due to all of the pain. I had a bad hernia repair that cause more harm then good, cause 6 revision surgeries and I was ready to end it all. Then one day A light shining through the darkness was this amazing women who brought life back into me and later I married her. I would be lost with out her. In 2023 a few coworkers and I went out on the weekends and played paintball occasionally to blow off steam from keeping the hospital running and it turned into a full blown Division 5 paintball team. Then I got that phone call from my sister stating my mom had passed away at the rehab facility. She had fallen asleep and never woke up, 5 weeks later my dad passed. I put all my emotions and thoughts away and how I coupe with it all, Paintball. I put all of my thoughts into paintball, then I remembered what my dad did giving his equipment away. It was like a light bulb went off in my head. It took me about a year and a half to figure out how to start a charity and what needed to be done..So between work, paintball tournaments and medical surgeries in 2025 I was finally able to get everything filed and we got our 501c3 status. We have already helped a whole youth team get complexity geared up at no cost to them. We have also helped a few veterans and working on some special needs athletes as well. So welcome to our paintball family. Everything I do to help veterans, kids and special needs athletes it to give them a chance to thrive, learn and become part of a community that loves everyone. We Grow the sport one equipment kit at a Time. Our community and sport is everything.
