Paint-and-Sip Fundraiser Benefitting Big Blue & You, a Local South Florida Organization Connecting Youth to STEAM Opportunities
Join me for a night of painting, enjoying local brews, and supporting Big Blue & You, a youth ocean conservation organization!
On Sunday, March 15, at LauderAle Brewery, we will be having a Paint-and-Sip fundraiser from 3-6 PM. Paint alongside Go Green with Alexa and chat sustainability, ocean conservation, and nature while we make some art. No need to have any painting experience, we will be led through a class by local artist and conservationist, Allison Ragle.
