Janelle's Paint and Sip Event
Janelle organised a Liptember “Paint and Sip” fundraiser, which brought together 10 participants for a fun and creative evening in support of women’s mental health.
Her friend Cat helped to promote the event and gave a speech on the night to talk about the work that WMHA does.
Through the event, they raised $480. Each participant created and took home their own lip-themed artwork, making the experience both meaningful and memorable.
They were also fortunate to have a talented local artist generously donate her time to guide them step-by-step through the painting process.
"It was a wonderful event that combined creativity, connection, and raising awareness for an important cause."
Janelle shared her top advice. "Ask yourself: What activity would a group of people genuinely love to do? When you build a fundraiser around something fun or meaningful, it’s much easier to get people involved."
