PRINCETON, IN (WFIE) - A large paintball fight went on on Saturday in Princeton.

It's to raise money for Riley Children's Hospital.

Organizers are hoping to raise $6,000.

The paintball fight hits close to home for some players because their children spent time at Riley.

"Everything is fine, she just had a little problem with her heart," event planner Daniel Alvarado said. "They got her all fixed up and got her through that. They were great. They help a lot of people. People that don't have the money sometimes to pay for those things. Really nice doctors, really nice hospital, and it's just a chance to give something back to them."

The paintball fight will continue on Saturday until midnight.
