PAINTING IT FORWARD FOR CHARITY at PINOT'S PALETTE-STAMFORD!!
FundraisersPinot's Palette is a great place to hold your Fundraiser! Part of the Pinot's Palette philosophy is to 'Paint it Forward'. We truly believe that our gift of a Fun Night Out can be continually repurposed to do some good! How has this been done? On countless occasions, we have donated portions of our door proceeds to worthy charities, including Outreach for Pets in Need (OPIN), The Stamford Hospital BennettCancer Center, the Newfield School and the Caring with Grace Foundation. In others, we simply donate a Gift Certificate for a Pinot's Palette class and a Gift Bag of Goodies for a suitable fundraiser. In still others, we work on a National level with the Pinot's Palette franchise to donate to terrific causes such as the National Breast Cancer Foundation. Finally, we donate some of the sample paintings that our artists paints in class to Childrens' Hospitals and Homeless Centers. Recently Pinot's Palette-Stamford held an event for 'Caring with Grace', http://www.c...ithgrace.org/ September is National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month - HomeGrace is a healthy 11 year old girl that is committed to help children with cancer and their siblings. Grace got her inspiration after seeing her aunt fighting cancer in 2013. I took this...Read more... a foundation started by a young, local girl to bring a smile to pediatric cancer patients while raising awareness about childhood cancer. Grace's mother, Edith, reached out to us hoping to hold a Caring with Grace event in our studio to help raise awareness for this terrific cause. When hearing that it was a charity started by an 11-year old girl, we jumped at the chance! We never regretted it for a second. Not only did Grace and her mom help to pack the studio to a 'Sold Out' condition, we were able to raise a good deal of money to support her cause! AND, we made some great new friends with giant hearts! Going forward, we are going to partner with Caring with Grace to add our Pinot's Palette paintings to the custom hats that their foundation donations to kids suffering from Cancer.
