Paint and Sip for a Cause is a fundraising event to support Transitional Bridges. No experience in painting is needed to participate. Artist Jill Roberts will provide step-by-step instructions; using acrylics on canvas. The ticket price includes all painting supplies, a complimentary glass of wine, and a slice of pizza. All participants will take home a completed work of art! Transitional Bridge's mission is dual-purposed. Our mission entails increasing the delivery of sensitivity and compassion inspired through art. When a loved one passes in an institutional setting, family members are frequently handed back belongings in a clear plastic bag. We are here to help change this practice and provide a compassionate alternative with art-inspired Transitional Belongings Bags. Our second purpose is to reduce the financial burdens patients experience due to serious injury or illness. Our Patient Assistant Program provides small grants to help individuals cover costs for items such as food, rent, daycare, utilities, transportation, medicine, and other medical expenses. Since the program launched, we have provided fifty small grants to patients in need locally and throughout the country. Our Patient Assistance Program is only possible through the generosity of donors.
