2024 Events

Hocus Pocus Paint Night, Bayonne NJ (November 2, 2024)

Our back-to-back Hocus Pocus Paint Night weekends concluded with this amazing event in Bayonne, NJ (where Stephanie was living the past several years). We want to thank Stephanie's friend Emily Hagdorn and Busy Little Bees Preschool and More for hosting this fantastic night. A special thank you also needs to be said to Rachel Baron for leading this paint night (we know that is no easy task!). We had another amazing turnout, and everyone left with beautiful Hocus Pocus inspired art in honor of Stephanie and her favorite film.

Hocus Pocus Paint Night, Ortonville MN (October 26, 2024)

Stephanie traveled to Minnesota often, as this is where her sister, brother-in-law, and nephews reside. She came to love this community as she watched her nephews grow, and we were honored to host this community for a paint and sip to benefit Steph's foundation.

33 ladies joined us as we painted a Hocus Pocus themed piece of art to honor Steph's favorite movie. We are grateful to Let Em Buck Apparel and Midwest Marigold Boutique for hosting us.

We also announced that the SMW Foundation plans to make an annual donation to the Ortonville High School Drama Club! One of Steph's greatest titles was "Auntie", and we know she would be so proud to be investing in the future of her nephews and the community where they live.

Spin for Steph at Tread LLC (July 25, 2024)

Kristen Fogarty, a high school classmate and friend of Stephanie's, organized a spin class fundraiser to honor the SMW Foundation. Tread on East in Winchester, MA hosted a sold-out class where Steph's songs were played while everyone was in full spin. Emotions were high, but what an incredible night! Tread created and donated an amazing raffle basket with all kinds of healthy goodies inside. All proceeds from this event were donated back to Steph's foundation!
