Charity Storage

From all of us at Charity Storage: THANK YOU to everyone who spared a little for a great cause at CSSA Napa 2026! This year's "Spare a Little for Charity Storage" bowling event brought together an incredible group of teams and helped us raise over $3,000 to support charitable efforts across the self storage industry.

Huge thanks to the California Self Storage Association for sponsoring the event, and to our generous sponsors Best Self Storage Insurance and Self Storage Manager!

Help us congratulate our Top 3 Teams from the tournament:
🥇 First Place: Garrett Mackay from Devon Self Storage and Bernardo Simoes from Global Storage Partners!

🥈 Second Place: Matt Canterbury from DaVinci Lock Solutions and Max Comerford from Five Star Bank!

🥉 Third Place: Peter Smyth from White Label Storage!
We're beyond grateful for the support of this incredible community and already looking forward to next year!

Last weekend, we had the honor of walking alongside incredible people at the Ronald McDonald House Charities Walk for Kids as part of Team Talonvest in support of RMHC of Orange County.

Together, Charity Storage raised over $8,000 for the team, some of which came from our very own Inside Self-Storage Hoops for a Cause event, and the walk as a whole surpassed its goal with over $413,000 raised for families who need it most. So grateful to have shared this day with so many passionate, driven people. Shoutout to Thomas Sherlock and everyone who showed up and gave it their all for such a meaningful cause!
