Join us for our first-ever Painting for a Purpose

Join us as we host a BYOB painting class! Proceeds benefit United Way of Eastern LaSalle County’s Paw Pals program. Come create your very own masterpiece, have some fun, AND help expand this program in local schools. You do not want to miss the silent auction, 50/50 raffle, and delicious dessert!

The Paw Pals program places facility therapy dogs in local area schools. Over 4,500 students in 10 local schools benefit from the Paw Pals Program. These specially trained dogs provide social, cognitive, and mental health benefits to students and staff alike. Their presence fosters a sense of emotional well-being, creating a ripple effect that positively influences the overall school community. Thanks to your generous support, these dogs, and Rookie, the Ottawa Police Department therapy dog, are fully funded by United Way of Eastern LaSalle County.
