FlashBang! – Uniting our U.S. Military Community through Food, Magic, and Laughter
An Intimate Dinner & Magic Experience Honoring Those Who Serve
Magicians On Mission, Spinato’s Pizzeria, and VetTix have teamed up to bring you FlashBang!—an unforgettable evening where world-class magic meets meaningful community support. From 5 PM to 8 PM, experience an astonishing blend of celebrity magic and upscale dining. This unique event is half fundraiser and half community service, uniting supporters and service members at a shared table to honor our military heroes.
Supporting Our Troops Abroad: The "Reset Button"
Every ticket and donation helps fuel live magic tours for U.S. service members stationed far from home. In high-stress environments, these performances serve as a "reset button," boosting morale and emotional well-being. By providing moments of joy and connection, we remind our troops that they are seen, appreciated, and never forgotten.
Honoring Our Heroes at Home: A Shared Table
While fueling overseas missions, FlashBang! reinforces our local military community right here in Phoenix. Through our partnership with VetTix, 20 complimentary tickets are provided to local veterans and their families for every show. This ensures our heroes can enjoy an evening of exceptional food and entertainment at Spinato’s, side-by-side with the community that celebrates their service.
Why It Matters: Connection in Action
We believe in the power of connection. With only 40 seats available per event, FlashBang! creates an intimate space where morale rises and lasting connections are made. When you join us at the table, you aren’t just a spectator—you are the magic that helps our troops feel valued and celebrated.
Join the Mission: Choose Your Impact
We invite you to "Pay What You Can" to support our heroes. Every dollar helps us reach more service members:
- Supporter Seat ($45): Covers your experience at Spinato’s.
- Mission Seat ($75): Covers your seat and helps sponsor a veteran’s attendance.
- Hero Seat ($150+): Covers the full value and directly funds our next overseas tour.

Get to Know Spinato's Pizzeria.
How does a pizzeria keep guests happy after 50 years? For the Spinato family, owners of Spinato's Pizzeria & Family Kitchen, there have been many additions to the menu over the years, design upgrades to restaurants, and expanded collaborations with local partners. But the key to Spinato's success has been a dedicated focus on providing "The Spinato's Experience" to loyal guests and families, many of whom have kept them in business for five decades.
We often say we're in the 'people business,' not the 'pizza business,' and none of our success would be possible without our team members and our incredibly supportive guests. Without them, we would have never made it this far.
