Signs of Domestic Violence
Paint 757 Purple
Paint 757 Purple is Samaritan House’s annual fundraising event to help raise awareness about the far-reaching impact of domestic violence. Every year, in honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, a group of enthusiastic volunteers, corporate sponsors, and local businesses come together to raise necessary funds.
It's easy to participate in this event. Restaurants, breweries and wineries, retailers, salons, entertainment venues, and many other businesses regularly participate in this event by donating a percentage of their sales.
We invite your business to host a "Paint 757 Purple Day" during October - ideally on Thursday, October 16 to align with National Wear Purple Day, but any day that works for you is welcome! In turn, we provide hosts to help generate additional business on that day.
Last year, nearly 40 businesses joined in raising over $50,000 to aid victims of domestic violence.
Interested in having your business participate? We promote your business via a multi-channel marketing program during October. Contact Michael Beane at (757) 560-7066 or via EMAIL to get involved, download our sponsor/partnership guide HERE or fill out the form below.
