Chattanooga CEP 2014:
Keeping the Dream Alive
The purpose of this campaign is simple; to continue the dream of playing professional paintball.
CEP was formed in 2005, and achieved the dream of every player by winning our way through each division and finally earning a spot in the PSP Professional Division at the end of 2010. But, like most things in life...getting there is only half the battle.
CEP is one of the few, if not the only, professional paintball team that is FULLY FUNDED by the players. Although we have AMAZING sponsors, each player commits $250 to team dues each month throughout the season. But, this $24,000+ only covers our minimal practice costs and simply is not enough for us to truly compete at the top level. We need your help!
_______________________________________________________________
But, why $16, 750?
So here's some math:
5 PSP Event entry fees in 2014: $14,750
Cost of this Indigogo campaign: ~$2,000
That makes $16,750.
We aren't asking for a single cent more than the chance to prove ourselves on paintball's biggest stage in 2014!
The twelve members of this team already raise $24,000 in dues each season that go directly to funding practice costs and event paint. And that does not even begin to cover the unknown tens of thousands of dollars contributed to road trips, air fares, hotels, food, pods, and everything else!
We just need a little push to get us to the next level!

Why should YOU help?
Chattanooga CEP is the only professional team in a 500+ mile radius, and we are proud of it! We earned a professional ranking winning in every division by bringing up dedicated local players. We don't have any super stars getting paid to play for us!
This is what it really comes down to; playing pro paintball isn't like other pro sports. There is very little money, TV, or fame in it...luckily that's not our dream.
Our dream is to travel the country with our best friends, doing what we love, and finally cap off that list of a win in every division...including PRO! And, hopefully along the way we will get to teach and coach some of you who donated to the cause and help continue growing the sport.
