⏳ MONDAY MORNING REALITY CHECK: WE HAVE A HOLD.
Good morning, Cleburne! ☀️
Here is the transparent update: We have officially RESERVED the Camp Henderson Room at the Conference Center for March 28th. The date is on their calendar with our name on it.
BUT IT IS NOT LOCKED IN YET. 🛑
To turn that "Reservation" into a "Confirmation," we need to pay the rental fee.
We are racing against the clock. We need to raise the funds to pay for the room and buy the first set of gaming consoles for the kids.
If you believe our youth need a safe "Third Place" to belong, please help us secure this home base today. Don't let this reservation slip away!

🛑 NO MORE LONG DRIVES. NO MORE EMPTY WALLETS.
Let’s give Cleburne kids a safe place to hang out—right here at home.

We hear it all the time: "There’s nothing for the kids to do around here without driving to Fort Worth or Dallas."
We are changing that.
DTMA is bringing the arcade experience to the Cleburne Conference Center. We are building a safe, supervised, and high-energy hangout spot where kids can just be kids. No long commutes. No expensive gas bills. Just safe, local fun.
🍕 BUT WE NEED YOUR HELP TO MAKE IT ACCESSIBLE.
Our goal is to make this event affordable for every family. Better yet? We want to make it FREE for the families who need it most.
When you become a sponsor, you aren't just buying a logo on a flyer.
You are looking a local parent in the eye and saying: "Put your wallet away. Tonight is on me." You are giving a child a safe place to belong for the night, so they aren't looking for trouble on the streets.
💸 THE MATH IS SIMPLE: $5.00 = 1 HAPPY KID
Here is how your business (or your family) can be a hero:
🏆 THE MICRO-TIERS (Small Business & Individuals)
🔹 $25 (Sponsor a Squad): ✅ 5 Kids get in FREE.
Equivalent to: Paying for a whole carpool of friends.
🔹 $50 (Community Supporter): ✅ 10 Kids get in FREE.
Equivalent to: Taking two full squads of youth off the streets.
🔹 $75 (Tournament Title): ✅ 15 Kids get in FREE.
Equivalent to: Filling a whole tournament bracket.
🔹 $120 (Level Up Partner): ✅ 24 Kids get in FREE.
Equivalent to: Sponsoring an entire classroom.
🏢 THE CORPORATE TIERS (High Impact)
🔸 $200 (Leaderboard Sponsor): 40 Kids gain access.
🔸 $500 (Season Presenting Sponsor): 100 Kids gain access.
🔸 $1,000 (Digital Equity Anchor): 200 Kids gain access.
📝 WHERE DO THE TICKETS GO?
We distribute these "Community Access Vouchers" to WIC/SNAP families, school counselors, and local churches to ensure they get to the parents who need a break the most.
Let’s keep our kids local, safe, and happy.

🔋 MONDAY IS COMING. ARE YOU READY?

This coming Monday isn't just "back to work." It's "back to building."
DTMA is kicking off the New Year with a clear mission: To secure the funding needed to open a safe, supervised Youth Gaming Hub by Spring.
We have a big week ahead of us. We are meeting with partners, finalizing plans, and pushing our fundraising goals to ensure no child is left behind due to lack of resources.
Rest up this weekend, Cleburne. We have a future to build starting Monday morning!

g: 🏘️ EVERY COMMUNITY NEEDS A SAFE HAVEN

For many families, especially those working long hours or facing financial hardship, finding affordable, supervised activities is a constant struggle. Our youth are often left with two choices: isolation behind a screen at home, or hanging out in the streets.
DTMA is building a better option.
We are transforming the Cleburne Conference Center into a high-energy, supervised community hub. We provide the structure, the safety, and the skills. We replace "boredom" with Esports Tournaments and Tech Building Workshops.
We cannot build this sanctuary without resources. We are fundraising to stock the room with the hardware needed to serve hundreds of local kids.
Your contribution isn't just buying a video game console; it is funding a safe Saturday night for a teenager who needs a place to belong. Help us build the village.

COWABUNGA! 🍕 Help Local Youth "Level Up" & Grow Your Business! 🎮

Calling all local business owners—from small shops to large corporations!
We believe every teenager deserves a safe, positive "third place" to connect with peers and have fun. DTMA is hosting Gaming Play Days to provide exactly that environment for our local youth.
But to ensure every kid can participate, regardless of finances, we need teammates. We are looking for business sponsors to help us remove those barriers.
Why Partner With Us? It’s a Win-Win.
As shown in the flyer below, we have created sponsorship tiers for every budget. Your involvement does two massive things:
✅ 1. You Directly Help Local Youth:
Your sponsorship funds entry fees. The "Sponsor a Squad" tier is just $25—for the price of a pizza, you ensure 5 kids have a safe, fun night out. The higher tiers provide massive access for low-income youth. You are literally buying them a safe space to play.
✅ 2. You Promote Your Business:
Get your brand in front of local families and teens! Depending on the tier you choose, you receive fantastic local marketing, including:
Logos on flyers and print materials.
Social media shout-outs.
PA announcements at the event ("Brought to you by...").
Naming rights for tournament brackets.
Ready to get in the game?
Check out the tiers in the image below to find the perfect fit for your business.

🛑 UPDATE: A Slight Detour, But the Destination Remains. 🛑

We want to be transparent with our community. We have been informed that our scheduled events at the Booker T. Washington Community Center are currently on an administrative hold.
While this is a delay, it is not a defeat.
Don't Touch My Arcade (DTMA) is committed to bringing a safe Gaming & Tech hub to Cleburne, regardless of the venue. We are actively exploring alternative locations—including church partnerships, private halls, and mobile pop-up events—to ensure our youth still get their "Third Place" this Spring.
We are still fundraising. In fact, your support is more crucial now than ever as we may need to secure a private rental space to get started.
The vision hasn't changed. Just the address. Thank you for standing with us.

We had to make a few quick administrative updates to our fundraising campaign, so we are re-sharing the link to ensure everything is perfect. Thank you to everyone who reached out!
The mission remains the same: We are raising funds to equip the Booker T. Washington Community Center with gaming consoles, tech workshops, and a safe environment for the youth of Cleburne.
We are building a place where kids can learn, play, and belong. If you can chip in to help us buy the gear, please click below
