Hey there, Jacksonville community – we’ve got some exciting news that’s sure to bring a smile to
your face and a splash of color to someone in need! Shady Lake Handyman, in partnership with the
PCA, is hosting an incredible charity event called the Paint It Forward Event, and we want YOU to
be a part of it. This heartfelt initiative is all about giving back to our amazing community by helping a deserving family or charitable organization enjoy a fresh start with.
What Is the Paint It Forward Event?
The Paint It Forward Event is our way of spreading kindness and offering a helping hand. Each year,
Shady Lake Corporation teams up with local organizations to donate a custom painting project to
those who truly need it. This isn’t just about paint; it’s about giving homes or facilities a fresh new
look while lifting spirits and bringing hope to those who need it most. Whether it’s the exterior of a
house that’s seen better days, an interior in need of a glow-up, or even a non-profit organization’s
building that serves the community, this is our chance to make a difference.
And here’s the best part – nominations are OPEN NOW! That’s right, you can help us find the
perfect recipient for this year’s event.
How Does It Work?
We know Jacksonville is home to countless individuals and organizations that make our community a
better place, and this year we want to focus on helping one of them shine brighter! Here’s how the
Paint It Forward Event works:
- Nominate Someone in Need: If you know a family struggling to make ends meet, a charity
organization doing amazing work, or even an elderly neighbor who could use some TLC for their
home, this is the time to nominate them. Simply fill out the nomination form (we’ve got the link for
you!) and tell us their story. - Free Maintenance Check for Nominators: As a thank-you for helping us make the world a
brighter place, we’ll give YOU a free maintenance check on your house – no strings attached. It’s our
way of saying thank you for caring enough to nominate someone in need. - The Selection Process: While we wish we could help every single nominee, we’ll carefully
review all submissions and select the recipient who will benefit the most from this one-of-a-kind
opportunity. The selection will be announced on or around October 30th, so keep your eyes
peeled! - The Event Day: The magic really happens in November when we host the big Paint It Forward
Event! It’s not just about painting walls – it’s about creating a day to remember. Picture this: a
community cookout, picnic vibes, festive activities, and the satisfying sight of seeing a deserving
family or organization’s property transformed right before your eyes.
Why Is This Important?
Life can be tough sometimes, and we all know someone who could use a helping hand. Whether it’s
a family struggling to keep up with bills, a single mom working hard to make a safe space for her
kids, or a non-profit making a difference with limited resources, this event is a way to show love and
support to those who deserve it.
At Shady Lake Corporation, we’re passionate about giving back. This isn’t just about slapping some
paint on walls – it’s about lifting spirits, creating pride in one’s space, and showing our neighbors that
the community has their back.
We also believe in focusing on return on investment. A fresh coat of paint can do wonders not just
for aesthetics but also for the value and integrity of a home or building. Whether it’s protecting
exterior walls from the elements or creating a warm and inviting atmosphere inside, a high-quality
paint job can make a big difference.
How Can You Get Involved?
We’d love for you to join us in making this year’s Paint It Forward Event the best one yet. Here’s how
you can make a difference:
- Submit a Nomination: Think of a family, individual, or organization in the Jacksonville area that
could use this gift, and fill out the nomination form. The more details you provide, the better we’ll
understand how we can help. - Spread the Word: Share this opportunity on social media, tell your friends and family, or shout it
from the rooftops (okay, maybe not literally). The more nominations we receive, the better our
chances of reaching someone truly deserving. - Volunteer or Donate: Want to help out on the big event day in November? We’d love to have you
join the fun! From helping with the painting to grilling burgers at the cookout, there are plenty of ways
to get involved.
What’s in It for You?
Aside from the warm, fuzzy feeling of knowing you’ve made a difference, every nominator will receive
a free maintenance and inspection service for their property. This is a chance for us to show you our
appreciation – and who knows, maybe you’ll gain some insight on preventative maintenance or
upgrades that could save you money in the long run!
