The game will be held on Saturday, September 12 from 10:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. at the MN Pro Paintball Park in Lakeville, Minn.

“Children's Hospital and Clinics is a world-class organization that is doing amazing and important work right here in the Twin Cities,�� said Matt Ames, company founder, MN Pro Paintball. “My on-going personal relationship with their cardiovascular program has given me a unique appreciation of the care they provide. MN Pro Paintball and the Dead Squad are thrilled to be raising funds and awareness of their commitment to the community.�

Challenge for Children's is a scenario-based, big game suitable for all levels of paintball players ages 10 and older, from first-timers to experienced veterans. Players will participate in an action-packed day of team-focused, objective-based paintball with an estimated 250-350 players.

“Paintball is an exciting way to be active in the outdoors and big games are an ideal way to participate in paintball, especially for newcomers,�� explained Ames. “The combination of MN Pro Paintball's high-quality woodsball facility with the expertise of the Dead Squad team members makes the Challenge for Children's an engaging and enjoyable event, regardless of a player's experience or skill level.�
