10-Year-Old to Hold Rock Painting Fundraiser & Auction for Preschool for Ugandan Refugees
At Back-to-School Brunch on the Chef Point patio, participants will be able to buy and decorate kindness rocks for $5 that will be gifted to local classroom teachers.
FORT WORTH, TX /24-7PressRelease/ — Paisley Elliot knows a lot about helping others and having fun. The fifth grader from Grapevine, Texas, has the big ambition of helping to build a Montessori-inspired preschool for Ugandan refugees at the Rwamwanja Refugee Settlement in Southwestern Uganda.
She has begun raising the $35,000 that the project will require. To continue on her path and get others in on the fun for a good cause, she is holding a rock painting fundraiser and auction at Chef Point Bar & Restaurant in Colleyville, TX, on Saturday, August 19, 2023, from noon to 2 pm.
Participants will be able to buy kindness rocks for $5 and paint them at the Back-to-School Brunch. Acrylic paints and brushes will be supplied. The event will also feature door prizes and a not-so-silent auction to raise money for the preschool. The kindness rocks will be gifted to local classroom teachers.
“It’s going to be fun, going to be a nice way to thank local teachers and going to help get us closer to our goal of fully funding PeaceMaker Preschool,” said Paisley.
“Paisley is a doer. We’re pleased to host the event and to help her reach her ambitious goal,” said Chef Point owner Paula Nwaeze.
