Paint the Town Purple

💜 About Paint the Town Purple

Paint the Town Purple is a community celebration benefiting Vera House, bringing together local businesses, community leaders, nonprofits and residents for an afternoon centered around connection, awareness and standing in solidarity with survivors of domestic and sexual violence.

Join us on Sunday, September 20, 2026, from 12:00–2:30 PM at Jammers Sports Bar & Restaurant as the Paint the Town Purple movement comes together under one roof.

Throughout the weeks leading up to the event, businesses, organizations, leaders and individuals across our community are signing “I Stand With Survivors” certificates and publicly showing their support. This celebration is our opportunity to recognize those who have stepped forward while welcoming the entire community to be part of the movement.

🧡 Special Guests

We are excited to welcome Syracuse Women’s Basketball Head Coach Felisha Legette-Jack, along with the Syracuse University Women’s Basketball Team, who will be joining us as part of this special afternoon.
