It’s time to get creative and raise funds for Autism - this time from the comfort of home. Join Tomorrow’s Voices on Sunday, August 23 for the virtual fundraiser “The Great Sip & Paint for Autism.” Participants will paint their autism inspired masterpieces and have access to a virtual platform where they will be entertained by host Qian Dickinson and watch live local DJs including DJ Chubb and Nadanja. Participants will also have a chance to win great prizes throughout the night.

Virtual attendees will have the option to choose from four fabulous Sip & Paint baskets. Each will include a keepsake basket stuffed with all the necessities for the ultimate at-home paint night. Along with painting goodies, the baskets will include a bottle of wine for adults, assorted juices and a delicious Autism-themed cupcake for everyone to enjoy. All proceeds benefit the Tomorrow’s Voices Autism Centre and the families it supports. The event will help to raise funds for Tomorrow’s Voices’ much-needed Centre and services, as well as to broaden awareness of the autism spectrum and other developmental challenges that are increasingly affecting families in Bermuda.

To round out the perfect virtual fundraiser event, participants can order online from supporting food partner, Speciality Cinema & Grill, and with your purchase of a meal on August 23 - 10 percent of proceeds will be donated directly to Tomorrow’s Voices.

Tomorrow’s Voices board chairwoman, Thea Furbert, said: “While we aren’t able to host a large physical event this year, we’re excited to be able to bring a fun and unique fundraiser into people’s homes. It will be a great way for families, friends or significant others to connect all while raising funds for Tomorrow’s Voices. We hope that people will join in this special night to help us to continue to raise awareness about autism and continue our mission to provide one-on-one therapy to individuals living with autism and developmental disabilities.”

Baskets are available now for pre-order through the Sargasso Sea app at www.sargassosea.app. and can be delivered at your convenience on either the 20, 21 or 22 of August, or collected from the Tomorrow’s Voices Autism Centre. Choose from four basket options: Family of 4, Couples, Individual or Children. It will be a great option whether with family or as an inventive date night - and a great way to support an essential local charity.

The virtual Sip & Paint night would not be possible without the support of sponsors CHUBB, Belco, D&J Construction, wineonline.bm, Barritts, Sargasso and Speciality Cinema & Grill.
