Painting with a Twist Studios Nationwide Host Charitable Events to Benefit Special Operations Warrior Foundation

Leading Paint-and-Sip Company Hosts ‘Painting with a Purpose’ Classes
throughout November to Honor Veterans

MANDEVILLE, La.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Painting
with a Twist®, the original and largest paint-and-sip franchise,
will host fundraising events throughout November to benefit the Special
Operations Warrior Foundation through the company’s charitable arm, Painting
with a Purpose.

With more than 60 participating studios nationwide, guests can visit http://paintingwithatwist.com/promos/special-operations
to find the location nearest them. Guests can sign up to attend an event
on their studio’s calendar page. At least 50 percent of each event’s
proceeds will be donated to the Special Operations Warrior Foundation.

The Special Operations Warrior Foundation provides children of special
operations personnel who lost their lives in the line of duty with full
financial assistance for a post-secondary education, as well as
educational and family counseling. The foundation also makes immediate
financial assistance available to special operations members severely
wounded and hospitalized. Nearly 70,000 Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Air
Force personnel, active and reserve, make up units assigned to U.S.
Special Operations.

“It is extremely rewarding to host Painting with a Purpose events at
studios nationwide to honor those who have given their lives in service
to our country,” said Renee Maloney co-founder of Painting with a Twist.
“Through the Special Operations Warrior Foundation, we, as a brand, have
the opportunity to give back to our troops and their families not only
on Veterans Day, but all November long.”

As part of the businesses’ commitment to give back through painting
parties, local Painting with a Twist studios hold charity events each
month through Painting with a Purpose. The program has raised nearly $2
million for local non-profit organizations.

At Painting with a Twist, guests come together to experience a unique
‘getaway’ that includes friends, paint and the option to BYOB. Led by
local art instructors, guests paint on bare canvases using paint and
brushes provided by the studio. There are more than 6,000 original
pieces of copyrighted artwork, ranging from landscapes, abstracts and
cityscapes, to creative renderings of animals, iconic buildings and
florals, which have all been conceptualized and produced by Painting
with a Twist art instructors.
