Blasters for Bravery
FREE adults-only Nerf night supporting firefighters
Usually, the kids get all the fun. This time, the grown-ups get the playground. And it’s all for the brave women and men who show up when our communities need them most. 💜🧑🚒
Join us at 📍LMP Wellington for Blasters for Bravery, a free adults-only Nerf night supporting firefighter communities locally and elsewhere. Fires have touched so many families, neighborhoods, and open spaces across Northern Colorado and beyond, and this event is one small way for us to gather in gratitude for the firefighters who protect our homes, our towns, and the wild places we love. And to have a lil fun ourselves while we’re at it 😉
Come have a blast (Nerf pun intended), eat, give, and help us show some big love to the brave.
Who: Adults only, 21+
Cost: Free to attend with direct donation stations set up for your convenience
Prize giveaway: Every attendee will be automatically entered into our prize giveaway
Food: Dinner and non-alcoholic refreshments will be available on the upper level throughout the event
What to expect
6:00 to 7:45pm: Nerf wars and dinner
We’ll open up the playground for adults-only Nerf wars. Bring your own Nerf blaster, and we’ll supply thousands of darts and eye protection*. Dinner will be available upstairs throughout the event, so guests can take breaks, eat, mingle, check out prizes, and donate at their own pace.
7:45pm: Live prize giveaway
Stick around after the prize giveaway until 8:30pm to keep eating, connecting, having a 🎯blast, and supporting the firefighters who mean so much to our local communities.
*Everyone must wear eye protection when on the lower level
Supporting firefighters locally and beyond
We will have stations for you to donate directly to:
Wildland firefighters via the Wildland Firefighter Foundation
Wellington Fire Protection District via (TBD)
We are deeply grateful for the firefighters who run toward danger, protect our communities, and support families through some of their hardest moments. As a family-centered business, we’re especially moved by the example they set for our kids, showing them what courage, service, teamwork, and care for your neighbors can look like in real life. From local emergency response to wildland fire recovery, these organizations represent bravery in action and remind us what it means to show up for one another.
Now it’s our time to show up for them.

Standard playground rules
Even though this is a grown-ups-only night, our standard playground rules still apply. All guests must remove shoes and wear socks inside the playground. You may wear whatever socks you want, but we strongly recommend grippy socks for Nerf enthusiasts. We will have grippy socks available for sale.
All guests must also sign our standard safety waiver before entering the playground, whether they plan to participate in Nerf wars or simply attend the event.
Thank you for helping us keep the space safe, clean, and ready for play.
Let’s bring our best ✨big-kid energy✨ and support some of our bravest heroes 💜
