Color The Canopy Opening Party
April 20, 2018, 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM
TreesCharlotte is excited to announce a unique fundraiser to protect and grow Charlotte’s beloved tree canopy: The sale of 27 original Paul Simon paintings, with all proceeds benefitting the non-profit. Paul’s paintings feature landscapes, flowers and some particularly festive roosters.
Enjoy a glass of wine and see all of the paintings on display at Paul Simon Men’s Store on Friday, April 20, from 6-8 p.m.
Money raised from Color the Canopy will go toward tree plantings, stewardship and educational programs. As Charlotte’s tree canopy feels stresses from age and development, TreesCharlotte engages community volunteers to plant thousands of trees each year at schools, parks and neighborhoods. Since its start six years ago, TreesCharlotte has planted more than 25,000 trees with 13,000-plus volunteers.
