Fellow Shanterballers,
It has come to our attention that Bill made a bunch of statements in a recent interview that lead many to conclude that there would be no more Shatner paintball events and that we didn't make any money last year. I am afraid what you are hearing here is simply not true and as usual people are jumping to conclusions.
First off in the interview (listen to it here) Bill says we couldn't do it in the Astrodome which is true. This has made us late on getting something together for Labor Day which is also true. We ARE trying to put something together for the end of the year in a warm place due to this delay.
I was on the phone with Bill YESTERDAY talking about this years event. We ARE planning on making it happen.
The fact we raised 17,000 is only PART of the money raised which Bill with his hectic schedule has forgotten about the rest. We gave an additional $10,470 to the police charity the 100 Club of Cook County on behalf of Mancow and Patrick and Dianne gave an additional 5,000 out of their own pocket of which 2,320 went to Ahead with Horses charity. So all total we raised over 30k for charity from an event with less than 1000 people.
You have now heard it directly from me and MXS who are the owners of Celebrity Paintball with Bill. How about we promote this info across the net as fast as the bad news travels.
Thanks,
Celebrity Paintball
