Help us turn your favorite bottles into support for TFEA! We’re collecting bottle donations for our NEW Bottle Toss fundraiser at the TFEA Convention, and we need our members’ help to stock the game. Donate a bottle from your personal stash, or any event leftovers you’re trying to clear out of storage!

Attendees will purchase rings and test their aim in a classic ring toss with a spirited twist: land a ring around a bottle, and that bottle is yours to take home!
