Our events
Marketing team
Sometimes it can be a jungle out there for the 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 city 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; Stefanie and Cheree 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.
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!!
We had a wonderful company party in 2023. We appreciate all our team members!
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- RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE-CHARLOTTE
We were fortunate to be able to repaint 2 of the Ronald McDonald House’s corridors. Here is what the RMH staff had to say:
“First, WOW, our House looks amazing. There are compliments flying all around from guests and volunteers from the color to even how FAST the teams worked. Our guest floors are absolutely beautiful! Thank you to your wonderful painting teams. They were quick, efficient, and perfectionists! I loved working with them too.
Thank you for your generosity and in making our dreams come true for the look/feel of our guest halls. This is beyond what we imagined. We are so grateful for this amazing opportunity!”
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.
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. 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.
