Our events
Marketing team
At Mecklenburg Paint Company, we’ve seen how one person can make a big difference in the community. Start adding more people, families, and businesses, and the difference made is even bigger. That’s the simple math behind why we feel working with not-for-profit and community-based organizations is more than just good business, it’s great for our hometown too! It helps us make a positive impact on our community. You too can help create change by donating your time, your voice, or your dollars.
Our Marketing Team enjoys staying active and social! Liz and Allison are members of BOMA; Liz and Stefanie are members of IREM; and Liz is our sole member of CREW. Within each organization, we attend networking events as well as outreach events. Some of the organizations we volunteer for are including but not limited to: Second Harvest Food Bank, Habitat for Humanity, Charlotte Family Housing and Ronald McDonald House of Charlotte. We attend conferences, trade shows, golf tournaments and Holiday parties each year! Scroll below to see a sampling of a few events we have attended over the past few years.
Topgolf with Sherwin Williams
When you are a painting company, you spend a TON of money on paint. It was so nice to be treated to an afternoon out at Topgolf enjoying our SW reps and…. snow! Can’t help but celebrate International Women’s Day with our team of rockstar gals in our office! From left to right is Stefanie, Liz, Allison and Ruth. Always taking care of your maintenance painting needs!
2020 Crew Casino night
What a fun night out with industry ladies at CREW’s Roaring 20’s Casino Night! Everyone looked dashing as we ate, drank, networked and gambled the night away. The event was hosted at Byron’s in South End and Mecklenburg Paint sponsored one of the black jack tables!
Meck Paint Celebrates 30 years!!
What better way to celebrate our time in the commercial painting industry than with the painters who have helped to get us this far with an afternoon at Topgolf Charlotte! It says a great deal about a company when your employee retention is at an extremely high level. We are so very proud of our crew and their commitment to keeping our company as fantastic as it once started.
2019 IREM GOLF TOURNAMENT
The 2019 IREM Golf Tournament was hosted at Cramer Mountain Country Club in October with a theme of Oktoberfest. Our Meck Paint team was joined by our favorite gals from East Group Properties to welcome golfers to Hole #10. The golf tournaments are a ton of work but are always a great time getting to catch up with our golf-loving clients!
Donations
Liz and Team – On behalf of Gallagher, thank you SO much for your donation of the paint supplies so we could improve Sterling Elementary School. Attached a few before and after pictures of their teacher workroom – decorated for their school year theme of “Sticking Together”. Your generosity will not go unnoticed by their staff to over 750+ students as they head back to school!
We appreciate you! Claire Browning
2019 Painting at Charlotte Family Housing
Charlotte Family Housing is one of our BOMA Grant Recipients. When BOMA Outreach asked CFH what projects they could use the most help with, they were quick to request a change in color to the walls on their second floor - they were so tired of seeing the yellow! Charlotte Family Housing follows a Trauma Informed Care (TIC) approach in everything they do, including choosing the new color for their walls. Trauma Informed Care is a social work best practice model that recognizes how past trauma deeply affects our present state of mind and decision making. While TIC is a large body of work, one of its focuses on is understanding how the space that people live in affect their experience, either triggering their trauma or soothing it. The lilac color that was chosen is a part of a palette that is specifically selected to help sooth residents and identify our shelter as a safe place that will allow them to grow and heal.
2019 IREM HAbitat for Humanity
Stefanie spent her Friday working along side other IREM Volunteers to help build the next step of this two-story home for Habitat for Humanity. It was a hot day out! Also pictured are photos from 2017’s volunteer event for Hope Haven.

2019 MECK PAINT OPEN HOUSE
What an incredible event! For the first time ever, we opened our doors here at Meck Paint to clients, friends and family and it was such a success! 2018 was the roughest year personally for Meck Paint losing the owner we loved. 2018 was also the best year profitably for Meck Paint with the highest sales we’ve ever reached. We know Howard is looking down on us, proud of the legacy we are continuing in his name!

2016 Charlotte business journal
Family business awards
In 2016, Mecklenburg Paint Company was nominated to participate in the Charlotte Business Journal Family Business Awards. In the first image is Howard and Liz (Owners of Meck Paint), Mark (Howard’s Oldest Son) and his wife Megan, Allison (Howard’s Daughter) and her husband David, Ben (Howard and Liz’s Youngest Son) was unable to attend due to a prior commitment as a student at Winthrop University. It was a great honor for Mecklenburg Paint Company to be nominated and an even better excuse to have a family night out on the town! The Etheredge’s will forever cherish the time they spent together as a family this night.
