Pokemon League for Non-Profits & Children Medical Centers

Bringing Pokemon to Children and Veterans in the DMV region

Chantilly/Centreville (Chantville) Pokemon League is reaching out to area non-profits specializing in helping children in need as well as children medical centers to bring League to them! And now we are expanding to Veteran agencies focused on helping our service men and women who have dedicated their lives to defend our country.

Our goal is to set-up Leagues for local non-profits and deliver a special Pokemon kit for the children or Veterans they are helping. These kits include everything a child or Veteran would need to get started playing the TCG game: a sleeved 40-card deck, dice, condition markers, Getting Started cheat sheet, and other goodies.

Your help is needed! Please consider donating one or more of the following items to help with this effort:

Sleeved, 40-card deck ready for play
Sleeves, dice, damage counters, condition markers, trainer boxes (to make the kits)
Starter kit (we can take the 30-card decks in them and expand them to 40-card decks)
Your bulk Pokemon cards (so that we can make 40-card decks)
Cash donation (to buy prizes and gifts to award at the non-profit leagues)

You can either drop your donations off at the Fantastic Store during their business hours or mail to the store:
