Sherwin-Williams presented the Boys & Girls Clubs of Sarasota County a $20,000 Color a Brighter Tomorrow grant this week at the Roy McBean Boys & Girls Club. The award will support the organization’s summer program and help give thousands of local youth a safe, enriching environment that stimulates their academic success, builds their character and leadership skills and encourages them to live a healthy lifestyle under the guidance of positive youth development professionals. During National Painting Week, Sherwin-Williams uses the power of color to transform rooms, homes and entire communities. In fact, the company’s employees at more than 4,000 neighborhood Sherwin-Williams stores across North America pick up their paint brushes and partner with local organizations in need of a fresh coat of color. The first National Painting Week project Sherwin-Williams completed for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Sarasota County was in 2015 when the company donated hundreds of gallons of paint and more than 40 volunteers to paint the administrative offices and parking lot on Fruitville Road. In 2016, Sherwin-Williams employees painted the exterior of the Robert and Joan Lee Boys & Girls Club on Gulfcoast Boulevard in Venice, and in 2017, the exterior of the Roy McBean Boys & Girls Club on 21st Street in Newtown.
