Power of the Purse is a silent and live auction that features bags donated by businesses and individuals from around the Midlands. With food, wine, and even a martini luge, this is sure to be an exciting event, with all proceeds benefiting women and children. Anyone may attend and have the opportunity to bid on the fun and unique bags.
“We have purses from all over,” said Stephanie Parrish, Program Coordinator for Women in Philanthropy. “Even some that our members picked up from travels in different parts of the world. But our best sellers the truly unique ones, those that are one of a kind, as well as those by well-known or boutique designers.”
