Batavia United Way

🎨💙 Community is our canvas! 💙🎨

On Tuesday evening, Batavia United Way board members, staff, and friends came together to paint Panel #15 for the Peace Out Batavia community mural project, presented by the Batavia Park District.

We had a fantastic time adding our own colorful touch to this incredible community art project and can't wait to see all of the panels come together when the mural is installed this September!
