Local Painting Company Announces
$25,000 Giveaway for Nonprofit Organizations

Local painting company ALLBRiGHT 1-800-PAINTING is hosting a $25,000 Paint-It-Forward giveaway of services and materials to local Santa Clarita Valley nonprofit organizations in need.

To nominate a nonprofit organization in need of painting services, ALLBRiGHT is asking organizations to submit a 60-second amateur video of why they deserve the $25,000 giveaway.

"Our company culture is centered around the happiness of both our customers and employees. We also want our local community to be happy which is why we're so passionate about giving back," says Joshua Abramson, chief solutionist and founder of ALLBRiGHT 1-800-PAINTING.

The Paint-It-Forward movement was started by Abramson in 2005. Since completing the first Paint-It-Forward 13 years ago, and with other painting contractors joining the movement, combined efforts have reached a goal of over $1,000,000 worth of free painting services and materials delivered to communities across the US and Canada.
Past nonprofit Paint-It-Forward recipients include The Children's Hunger Fund, SCV Food Pantry, Partners for Potential, The Village Tree Preschool, Crossroads Community Church and more.

Clean-It-Forward Inspired by Local Giveaway
For the past six years, Surface Busters has been inspired by ALLBRiGHT 1-800-PAINTING and their Chief Solutionist Josh Abramson, who established Paint-It-Forward. Every year this program identifies a family in need or a nonprofit organization that can't afford their painting needs. Now, they are proud to announce the launch of their own charity program, Clean-It-Forward!

Surface Busters is asking the SCV community to submit stories of a nonprofit organization or people they know who are in need of their deep-cleaning services, but can't afford it. Once these stories are submitted, the Surface Busters team and its customers will vote on the top candidates and announce the winner. The recipient will receive up to $3,000 worth of free hard-surface cleaning and restoration services.

If you know of a family, school, or other organization in need of hard-surface cleaning and restoration, you're invited to submit their information in the Nominee Info form on the website.

Stay Cool & Plan Your Landscape Projects
with SCV Water's July Gardening Classes

July is... hot. We're in the beginning of summer - the weather is getting warmer earlier in the day and is no longer cooling off as quickly at night. While it may be too hot to get out in your landscape and garden, SCV Water has free monthly gardening classes that will get you thinking about your landscape design and ways to sustain it through summer.

Faced with a blank canvas of a yard? Or is it time for a refresh of the planters around your home? Join them for "Planning a Landscape Project and Budget" on Thursday, July 11. Participants will learn how to create a plan and design for plants and hardscape, determine the labor needed, as well as estimate and manage a budget.

Or are you just starting to think about your landscape project? Head over on Saturday, July 20 and they'll show you where to start! Learn about the "Basics of a Sustainable Landscape," including ways to preserve natural resources, be water-wise and still have a landscape that meets your needs.

All classes are held at SCV Water, located at 27234 Bouquet Canyon Road in Santa Clarita. Log on to register and learn more. yourscvwater.com


The Grand Design

People can survive or thrive - and the same can be said about the spaces they call home.
"Grand design" isn't just collecting elements that function; it's about cultivating an ensemble that sings.

Furniture that Speaks to You

Furniture elements that each have a speaking role in the dramatic performance that is your home - that's grand design. Available from A Royal Suite Home Furnishings, which is hosting a Fourth of July Preview Sale going on now.

The Superman of Surfaces
Dekton is a long-term surface that allows greater potential for installation in one piece with no cuts, no joints and no limits. It has the appeal of a completely uniform surface, fitting seamlessly into very different design styles. Resistant to the daily grind - and chipping, UV light, high temps - it's also completely stain proof. Thanks to the extremely-low porosity and lack of resins, stubborn stains from wine, coffee, markers and rust are easily removed. Even bleach, drain cleaners and oven degreasers won't harm Dekton.

Install it anywhere you need a hard surface to stand up to life - countertops, bathrooms, flooring, swimming pools and more.
Available from Woodward Kitchen & Bath.
