Paint the Town Purple Recap
In October, we held our first annual Paint the Town Purple event – and it was a boisterous, paint-spattered success! Julia Leigh Roberts of led the packed house of 75 painters through creating their very own masterpieces, themed around the “Purple Purse,” a symbol of domestic violence awareness and part of the Allstate Foundation’s annual Purple Purse campaign. was on hand giving out samples of alcoholic kombucha, and Partnership staff and volunteers provided other sips and snacks.
We’re so grateful to everyone who made this event a success – our silent auction donors, Boochcraft, Van Go Girl, our volunteers, and of course, everyone who came out to paint & sip for a cause. Hope to see you next time!
