🏆 LEGEND SPONSOR SHOUT OUT — PAINTERSPLUS! 🇺🇸🎨

Thursdays on the Water would like to give a HUGE thank you to our largest sponsor and LEGEND SPONSOR — PaintersPlus!

This year is an extra special one for PaintersPlus as we proudly celebrate 25 YEARS IN BUSINESS! 🎉

For a quarter-century, PaintersPlus has been serving homeowners, businesses, churches and organizations throughout Western New York. Our experienced team specializes in:

🎨 Interior & Exterior Painting
🏠 Residential Painting
🏢 Commercial Painting
⛪ Churches & Large Facilities
🏭 Industrial Painting

But one of the things we are most proud of isn’t a job we’ve been paid to do — it’s the work we’ve been able to give back to our community.

❤️ 16 YEARS OF PROJECT H.O.P.E. ❤️

Sixteen years ago, we started Project H.O.P.E. — Helping Others Paint Exteriors.

Every year, we select a family or homeowner in North Tonawanda who is experiencing financial hardship, living with a disability, or otherwise going through a difficult time and needs help getting their home painted.

We paint their home exterior completely FREE OF CHARGE.

For 16 consecutive years, PaintersPlus and Project H.O.P.E. have continued this tradition, donating more than $145,000 worth of free painting services to people in need in our community.

Supporting Thursdays on the Water is another way PaintersPlus is proud to give back to the community that has supported us for the past 25 years.

Thank you to the entire PaintersPlus team, our customers, and everyone who has helped us reach this incredible 25-year milestone!

And from all of us at Thursdays on the Water, THANK YOU PaintersPlus for stepping up as our LEGEND SPONSOR and helping keep live music and great community events going right here in Western New York! 🎶🇺🇸

SPONSOR SHOUTOUT: RE-ELECT JESSE GOOCH

This sponsor shoutout is a little different because Jesse Gooch isn't just a sponsor of Thursdays on the Water. As the owner of JG Productions, Jesse is a huge part of making Thursdays on the Water happen in the first place.

There is so much that goes on behind the scenes to pull off seven weeks of concerts at Gratwick Park, and Jesse is right there in the middle of it. The planning, the problem solving, the long days, the things that go wrong that nobody in the crowd ever knows about, and then doing it all over again the next Thursday. He doesn't just put his name on this event. He puts the work in.

Jesse is currently running for re-election in Niagara County, and his Re-Elect Jesse Gooch campaign is also a sponsor of Thursdays on the Water this season.

We get to see firsthand how much Jesse cares about bringing people together and creating things that are good for this community. Thursdays on the Water wouldn't be what it is without JG Productions and everything Jesse puts into it.

So this thank you is a big one. Thank you, Jesse, for everything you do to make Thursdays on the Water happen, for believing in this event year after year, and for continuing to invest your time, energy and resources into our community. We couldn't do it without you. ❤️
