Allegany County Democratic Committee (NY)

Paint & Sip Fundraiser

Come Paint & Sip with us in support of our 2026 Student Civic Engagement Prize.


This annual prize, now in its second year, recognizes civic engagement by our community's young people.


The competitive award is open to all students in grades 11 and 12 that reside or attend school in Allegany County NY. 


It is not based on grades, nor is it a college scholarship. It is a cash award meant to recognize and celebrate the contributions of our young people in the places where they live. 


Schools have the application materials now, so please point your civic-minded young person to the guidance office. Submission deadline is April 1, 2026.


Tickets for the Paint & Sip are $45 per person and include all materials to paint and letter this 33" x 16" pine wood sign, plus a Teacup Charcuterie and a flute of sparkling wine. This event is limited to the first 24 ticket holders.


If you wish to support the award but cannot attend, you can contribute to the Student Civic Engagement Award fund using this form, or by mailing a check to: ACDC, PO Box 136, Belmont, NY 14813 Attn: Civic Engagement Award
