Montgomery County Exes Paint for a Cause
Dinners, silent auctions, bake sales—those are some typical fundraising methods. But when the Texas Exes Montgomery County Chapter needed to raise money for scholarships, they decided to get creative.
Last Thursday, 44 alumni and friends gathered at Painting with a Twist in the Woodlands to pay homage to a classic Longhorn landmark: the Tower. The evening raised more than $1,000 for the chapter’s scholarship fund. “Perhaps we will paint Bevo next,” says chapter treasurer Patrick Cahill, BBA ’82, who organized the event.

Count me in for the the one! Love those tower paintings. What a nice idea for a fundraiser.
Always glad to know that there are activities like this that can be fun at the same time beneficial for the community as a whole. No one can take good care of the heritage left by ancestors than the people living in the community.
Painting for a cause. This is very nice since it will benefit those kids who cannot afford to go to school. This simple activity is fun at the same time that it can help a lot of kids.
