Pro PainterUSA owner Rashaad Washington Sr. was honored with its own day from the Mayor two years ago on August 30, 2024. The way they celebrate is by giving back to the community. This year is the same .

“Back Yard Boogie” is the theme and community collaboration is activity!

This year they are taking it back home to its old neighborhood park on 29th & Melvina which is completely revitalized.

They have collaborated with Advance Peace, Next Step Summit, local entertainers, local vendors, old school car owners that are business owners.

There will be free food, music with Dj L-Boogie, horses, farm animals, a computer give away, free shoes, book bags, school supplies along with a good backyard vibe.

Come out to donate, come out to celebrate. Come out and enjoy community!
