ResiBrands Unveils First Recipients of the 2025 Paint It Forward Campaign
ResiBrands’ That 1 Painter brand has officially announced the first wave of recipients for its annual Paint It Forward national week of service. Set to take place during the week of March 24, 2025, this initiative, in collaboration with Sherwin-Williams, will bring transformative makeovers to communities across the United States. Now in its third year, Paint It Forward has grown into a nationwide prosocial initiative that supports individuals, nonprofit organizations, and community-focused institutions by providing free painting services to those in need.
More than 100 simultaneous projects will be carried out across the country, as That 1 Painter franchisees dedicate their time and resources to uplifting local communities. The initiative embodies ResiBrands’ mission to make a positive impact through service, offering much-needed facility improvements that enhance lives, restore spaces, and create environments where individuals and organizations can thrive.
Highlighting the Impact: K9s For Warriors
ResiBrands Among the notable recipients of Paint It Forward 2025 is K9s For Warriors, the nation’s leading provider of trained service dogs for military veterans coping with PTSD and other unseen wounds of war. The organization plays a crucial role in rehabilitating veterans through its innovative Service Dog Training Program, helping them regain independence and improve their quality of life.
The Paint It Forward project at K9s For Warriors’ Shari Duval National Headquarters in Ponte Vedra, Florida, will focus on renovating the living quarters where veterans and their service dogs stay during their intensive three-week training program. These living spaces serve as a temporary home for veterans as they form bonds with their newly assigned service dogs. The makeover will ensure that the veterans’ environment is warm, welcoming, and conducive to healing.
Daniel Bean, CEO of K9s For Warriors, expressed his gratitude for the partnership:
“This is the third year that we have worked with That 1 Painter for its annual Paint It Forward campaign, and we are grateful for their continued support of our mission to save Veteran lives. Because of their commitment to our organization, we can give our nation’s heroes what they deserve: the best environment to begin healing with their new Service Dogs.”

We believe that ResiBrands needs to make a difference in each community where we operate. Paint It Forward 2025 is designed to do exactly that.
