*** Do not promote specific molds as part of your marketing as they are not guaranteed.

Are we able to request molds when ordering?

You are welcome to request molds, however, to maintain a consistent inventory for all events, we will evenly distribute player’s packages.  Our goal is to make sure each event gets a wide variety of options.

Can I purchase more than one player pack at a Veterans for Vets event?

Check with your tournament director after the event is over.

Can I order more player packs after my initial order if I have more player sign up?

You can place a re-order by contacting [email protected], but the minimum re-order is 10 player packs. We recommend ordering extra player packs for registrations on the day of your event. If you have 10 or more player packs left after your event, you can then take advantage of our Buyback Option. Please remember, you are responsible for the return shipping.

How do I find a local organization or agency that serves veterans in my community?

Local American Legions and VFW posts are a great start! Speak with local veterans, or google “Veteran Services in <your city, county, state>”. Please choose an agency that is local. One of the mottos for Veterans for Vets is “Play Local – Support Local”. Click here to learn more.
