The Upstate’s first aggressive entertainment center will be handing over its facilities on Mondays for local nonprofit organizations to use for fundraising.

SmashIt/Axit is part of a new wave of stress release where people can rent out a room to break things, said Chase Michaels, the founder of the SmashIt/AxIt. Or if they want to take a different kind of approach, they can do some ax throwing. The facility, located at 1164 North Pleasantburg Drive, includes eight ax throwing lanes, two smash rooms, and a car smash pit.

Nonprofit organizations are encouraged to pick an open Monday from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. where they can staff a fundraising event at SmashIt to which they will keep 50 percent of the profits. Along with giving access to the facility, SmashIt/AxIt will also promote the event on social media.

“This is definitely a unique approach to fundraising events sure to draw in a younger demographic of donors,” said Michaels. “SmashIt/AxIt allows your donors to have an unforgettable memory”.
