A Heartfelt Evening: Recapping Our Valentine’s Day Paint & Sip Fundraiser

On February 10, 2025, we had our first-ever Toby’s Hope Paint & Sip at Ravenna Brewing with Brandy from Paint Local Seattle , bringing together a small but mighty group of supporters for an evening of creativity, community, and fun.
With paintbrushes in hand and drinks in tow, 14 attendees came to paint while supporting our mission to provide financial assistance for canine lymphoma treatment for those in need. Through generous donations, we successfully raised $375—a meaningful contribution that will help pet parents navigating the challenges of a cancer diagnosis.
Beyond the fundraising, the event was a beautiful reminder of the power of community. Attendees shared stories, laughed, and connected over their love for dogs, all while creating their own unique masterpieces.
We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who joined us for this special night and to Ravenna Brewing for providing the perfect space. Your support makes a real difference, and we can’t wait to host more events like this in the future!
More Paint and Sip events to come!
