Painting with a Twist-Sarasota hosted its fifth annual fundraising event for the Vera Bradley Breast Cancer Foundation Monday. More than 50 Sarasota men and woman spent the evening painting for the cause, raising more than $1,200. At the end of the evening, attendees went home with their masterpieces, a Vera Bradley tote bag and a $10 gift certificate from Molly’s! A Chic and Unique Boutique.

“We are thrilled to be a part of this meaningful event,” said Molly Jackson, Molly’s! owner.

Painting with a Twist hosts Painting with a Purpose events monthly and gives 50% of the evening’s proceeds to local charities. In the past 18 months, the Sarasota location has raised more than $19,000 for Sarasota and Manatee county nonprofits.
