Blue Sky Painting & Carpentry is proud to be involved and give back to local community projects and foundations. Here are just a few that we are recently involved in and encourage you to check out.
Make-A-Wish® MidAtlantic
If you aren’t already familiar with Make-A-Wish, they grant wishes providing life-changing experiences for children, families, and communities. For a child with a critical illness, a wish experience can give back what the illness takes away. It can help children forget about being sick…remember how to be kids…laugh out loud…and inspire them to keep making plans for the future.
This summer, the MidAtlantic chapter reached out to Blue Sky Painting about a wonderful girl, Taneeza. Due to Taneeza’s medical needs, she ends up spending a great deal of time in her bedroom and her wish was to make it become a more beautiful place to be. BSPC owner, Tom, and project manager, Adam, teamed up with a wonderful interior designer to help make this wish come true. Taneeza’s bedroom was transformed into a beautiful pink paradise.

The Howard County Police Pace

Carrolltowne Elementary School Fun Run
CES fundraiser. This is the Carrolltowne Elementary School’s largest fundraiser. Students receive pledges to run in the Annual CES Fun Run. Students earn rewards depending on their pledges such as t-shirts and gift cards.
Freedom Area Recreation Council Youth Soccer Sponsor
The purpose of the Freedom Area Rec Council is to build a public recreation program using public school buildings, grounds, parks and facilities, volunteers and local organizations, both public and private to stimulate interest in promoting and furthering the cause of recreation.
The Historic Samuel Coleridge-Taylor Elementary School
Located in Baltimore, Maryland the Samuel Coleridge-Taylor Elementary is a community of teachers, families, and students who are dedicated to educating the mind, body, and spirit of every child in order to become responsible, caring, and high-achieving citizens in the global community. They are committed to ensuring that every student achieves college or career readiness by providing and requiring grade level or above achievement through differentiated instruction and appropriate interventions that promote students’ rigor and engagement in a collaborative and supportive environment.
Blue Sky Painting & Carpentry was contacted by the teachers in order to paint walls that were long overdue. They wanted to provide a space that matched the cheerfulness and values of the students and teachers themselves. Seeing that the teachers had come together with their own money to try and fund the project the project manager, Adam, and Blue Sky owner, Tom, both decided to provide our painting services free of charge. We painted accent walls in a dozen classrooms and are working together to repaint their cafeteria as well as work with teachers to provide supplies to students in need.

Everyone involved was proud to be working on this project to help liven up the school’s classrooms.
